adding the 1st gear improves their direct shift cvts reliability imo.

For us who tend grind our cars to the ground, would've preferred old school reliability over a few added MPGs via CVT. Granting they're now better than early versions, they're still the same intricate system of pulleys and belts working in a more synchronized way than regular ATs. More repeated movements of parts. More wear and tear quicker. More frequent CVT fluid changes. Good for short term service, not for keeps.[emoji53]

Should extend life expectancy, but the eventual end would still mean assembly swap, not rehab.
