I think this is true. Everything starts someplace, usually as "lousy" and "expensive to fix". Yet after enough of them are out there it becomes the new normal.
I bet CVT's will eventually get there too.
DI and CVT..... Like it or not.
BITOG fear mongering at it's finest on this site. Time to go by that 15 year old Crown Vic or 10 year old Ford Taurus. None of those fancy gadgets on those cars......
No fear mongering, and no need to buy a 15 year old Crown Vic or a 10 year old Taurus for me. I can easily buy a new 2017 vehicle that I like, very much in fact, and not have to buy CVT or DI. A GC Trailhawk, or a Ram PU come to mind.
Funny you mention the Crown Vic, they have a great reputation for vehicles that last a very long time.
