I’ll stick with the automatic transmission over a CVT transmission because of the durability issue. I was thinking about getting a new car, but the CVT knocked all foreign cars out of the running, and then I found out about an idiotic idea called Stop/Start technology with many American cars. But at least, some of those cars will allow me to turn off the Stop/Start system. American cars would begin to rule the foreign cars if they dumped the Stop/Start systems. All of this so-called new technology is enough to make me want to keep my 1999 Mercury Mystique.
