My Father has a CVT in a Freestyle. It has been flawless. Very good
transmission (sourced from ZF in Europe). Interestingly, the Five Hundred
and Fusion both use Aisin Warner Automatic Transmissons (if you don't get
the CVT i the Five Hundred). Since this company is primarly owned by Toyota
and is a prime Toyota supplier, don't you supppose the awesome, wonderfiul
supper great Toyota 6 speed automatic is the same as or at least very
similar to the piece of crap 6 speed tranmission sold in the Fusion? Oh
what a feeling. Moving forward....;
