Hi, just wondered if you could let me have your opinion of the above vehicle. Economy, reliability, maintenance etc. Also does it have cvt transmission? and if so, is it, in your opinion, a late enough model to be past earlier problems with this type of transmission.
Regards
Bill

Hi there,
From what i hear, these cars have complex transmissions that are very costly to repair.
And often the car ends up being sold for scrap rather than repairing.
I would obtaine more specifics on the vehicle and call Auckland Automatics and ask if these
particular transmissions give the same trouble.
I'm not aware of any other issues with these cars. Possibly not know for being economic
due to the large engine sizes.
