 I originally bought this car in 2012 with 62k miles.  Now it's 2015 and 163k miles later.   My car has the cvt transmission and no issues.   Those complaining of slipping or hard shifts in between gears would be the 6 speed auto.  Cvt transmission had only one continous gear.  It does not shift.  The only replacements done to this car other than normal maintenance is replacing the alternator at 120k miles and replacing the starter at 150k miles.   Otherwise a solid car for the money.  My daily commute is 120 miles round trip.
