Yeah I very afraid of cvt issues, the gear shifting very rough (yes a cvt, you can feel the gear shifting/engaging) - I just sold my BRV before end of 6th yr. And this is a family car, not driven hard pun.

Eh eh kau ni, conti punya issue is on a different level compared to Honda, kay? At least if Honda got problems, you go serbis center they no say you need to wait weeks or months for spare parts (I looking at you pijot and continental-ist Geli-ish potong), they will still try to layan you. For mass market marques, I think Honda after sales service veli good liao. I think UMW sure lose, Toyota only win on less issues, but cust serbis so so only.

Good, quality, but but but I poor ppl cannot afford parts, that's why even Honda I quickly bail after warranty over.

Oh btw, yeah VW 4 yrs no prob, spouse got one ex-colleague, bought Polo, say sedap this sedap that, join Polo group la, etc until spouse say wanna try, I say wait, waited few years, start saying gearbox got issue liao, no more warranty, have go here and there looking for cheap repairs. Now quiet ad, but oklah sudah dapat gf masa drive Polo....

Yeah la driveshaft leaked - it happened during 1st day CNY, so kan cheong cause never seen the drive shaft lubricant consistency not like normal engine lubricant. Then service center not open, searched high and low for a non-chinese workshop, then the foreman say is driveshaft - can wait one. Then only ok.

Sorry, I wanted to ask your earlier question about the CVT GB Oil change every 40k - this is your own request or per service schedule? I remember SC only perform the change at 100k, and it was soon after the CVT clunkyness began, so I thought wow just right timing, this should fix it, but it didn't fix the clunkyness, it was reduced but back to the same harshness when gear engage after 1 or 2 weeks.

Not driven hard as in not driven hard >5% of the time. The car had always had issues when emergency braking - when the car comes to a hard stop, I can see the engine RPM goes down to 500rpm, almost stalling - this is related to the CVT gb - before returning to normal RPM.

If accelerate one or twice from idling/traffic light stops is considered the car had been driven hard, then it's a car with princess problems. Things do happen, sometimes you angered another driver and you just want to escape the situation, or you are going up Genting, etc etc. 95% of the time, the car was (cos just sold the car) driven sedately. Mine is almost 6 yrs, almost 130k mileage.

I do give time between changing gears, like make sure car is completely stopped, before engaging reverse, but I see a lot of people (& my spouse) change from D to R immediately, even before the car has come to a complete stop, so that's that la.

It should be offered as an option since if not mistaken US/Canada's Corolla Cross is using 2.0L.
