I owned a 2005 Prius with 280k miles on odo best car i own, transmission so much better than my 2004 Honda Element auto. Yes ppl who hate CVT usually hate changes. I was one of them. But after having problem with my Honda auto trans and experienced the reliability of Toyota CVT I can only say try it first and drive if for a long period of time before you dont like something.Did I mention the hybrid battery still works with almost 300k? saved money on oil change brake pads and gas = drive more and further. Maybe one day when i decided to get rid of my 1996 RAV4 manual transmission ill get that RAV4 hybrid, Its not easy driving stick in NYC.
