Ah the CVT. The answer to all of our problems. Its step-less shifting was to be both good for performance and economy while giving you a wafting cloud like experience. That is until it fails costing the owner $8,000 to replace. It&#8217;s been a huge frustration for quite a few R50 owners who opted for [...]]]></description>
