psarhjinian, you do realize this is 2007 and not 1990? Chrysler trannies are no less reliable than other makers and probably more realiable than Honda's from what I've heard. Now they are building a brand new plant with Gertrag to build DSG transmissions for the new Phoenix engines.
Now as to the CVT itself - we all complain about weight in cars, but then we turn around and say we want things like 6 spd autos and 360 degrees of airbags. This where a lot of the weight is coming from. A CVT is lighter and a perfect application in a small car which is supposed to be economical.
