Share? I thought that too... it is now hers! I get to order my own this weekend.... but, back to her CVT... it is wonderful!, marvelous! We, she is just rolling on 10k, no problems, absolutely fun to drive... and great mileage. "the BEAST" had 17's on it till about a month ago... she wants to drive it this winter... I said "not with those tires" I found a set of 15" stock with the oe tires.... her mileage jumped from 31 or 32 to 35mpg. She loves it, I love it, and the environment loves it.

Can't say enough good stuff.
