For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.
It feels like San Francisco’s fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it’s cheap to manufacture and people think it’s trendy.
I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.
I just rolled over 100k miles last week on my CVT. If CVTs are dying young, it isn’t a problem with the CVT, it’s a problem with the manufacturer.
My civic has a CVT and for the most part its OK. But sometimes when you’re on a highway, and if you have to brake hard… that lag time on hitting the gas again can sometimes feel like forever. And pretty scary.
What’s the quibble with CVT? From what I’ve heard they last forever
