    eCVTs are good, yes (I miss having one so much), just don’t buy a Ford C-Max if you want one.

    Very quick for a Hybrid (only 200Hp, but the transmission makes it feel so much faster), luxurious interior with panaromac sunroof, but 75% of their transmissions will fail by 100K miles due to a faulty bearing design.

    Traded mine in for a Genesis Coupe 3.8L 6MT at a stealership once I found out mine was dying @106K. I originally paid $7500 for the car and got $6500 for the trade in; even with the purchase price of the Genesis ($12k) it was still cheaper than getting the C-Max fixed.

    That said, I can’t wait to try another eCVT again. And this is coming from someone who prefers to drive stick.
