> it couldn't decide which gear to pick.

I haven't felt that since I've been driving my CVT ICE for so long.

Then again, a coworker told me the CVT is likely to break before 100,000 miles. So.... thinking of buying a Prius. I love Priuses.

Honda CVT is supposed to be pretty solid if that’s what you have. Other CVTs are less solid, or so I hear.

I think toyota cvts last longer than the lifetime of the car.
