So I'm trying to warm up to the idea of a Corolla. How are the CVT's holding up? Some early teething problems I saw, but fluid change (at least drain and fill) doesn't look too bad. I saw at least one admonition to not use high revs or drive hard, which I get, it's an econobox, get something else if you want to drive hard--but my daily gets flogged and sees 5k on a regular basis trying to keep up at times. And it's an econobox and it's still managed 260k (albeit a conventional slushbox).
Does one really have to go hybrid to get a good transmission in something cheap? I mean, all the complaints about 8&9 speeds, bad programming, etc. Our hybrid seems to just do what is needed.
