Any particular reason you want to spend 5K? There are plenty of reliable runners out there for $2500 to $3500

Ok, so the lady with the Honda Fit, said even though it's a CVT, it had it's transmission replaced last year. I am not sure if that makes it better, or worse? Should a transmission (Even a CVT) be needing replaced so soon?

*CVT failure is common in 1st gen Jazz/Fit. Not sure if still common in 2nd gen +.

Better or worse ... umm ... new transmission! Good! No?

[*I bought one of those! Sold it within 1 month due to CVT failing! In fact all the Hondas (4 in total!!) I owned were nothing but trouble. The Fit has put me off Hondas for life now unfortunately.]
