Yaris CVT Auto - concerns?

[irahim]

Hi guys, I've been thinking about buying a small auto but very concerned about CVT transmissions. Should I be worried about the Yaris CVT? I understand this is used from 2012 onwards. The alternative is to look for a vehicle with a conventional 4 speed auto (of which there are very few nowadays in the super mini field). Thanks

Toyota's cvt is one of the better ones on the market, check and see if it has had a fluid change, The yaris hybrid is a well test platform and is an eCvt that doesn't up a push belt drive like a conventional cvt (2012 onwards) £8500 gets you in a 2016 with 60-70k on it

 

The nissan cvt is utter rubbish (Jatco) when these let go they grenade

Cars off the  top of my head with proper slush box auto's Nissan Note E11 up to late 2013 and the 1.4 corsa,
