Hi,
With the trend for car makers to sell cars with ALL 3 of these....GDI, CVT and turbo be a troubling long term issue with major expensive repair bills that the average consumer is really not aware of yet?
I really wonder about cars like the new Civic and Accord, for example, both with all 3 of these features be in store for MAJOR EXPENSIVE mechanical issues as the car ages and be more expensive to maintain than say the current Hyundai Elantras, with NO GDI, NO turbo and a traditional 6 speed automatic transmission?
This is the reason as I was car shopping in 2017, I decided to go with the Hyundai Elantra, still with port injection, naturally aspirated and NO CVT. I almost went with the Chevy Cruze! That would be a costly mistake for sure!
Seems the trend is for planned obselescence in modern high tech cars. The average consumer is still being lured into purchasing these cars, not even thinking about the long term cost of ownership, very scary if you ask me!
