The article is in the August 03 issue. They report that "even trying one's best to accelerate modestly from a standstill easily produced unwanted wheelspin." They also state that the "surging form a standstill was even more pronounced after a cold start." Warmer climates seem to alleviate the problem. In addition they talk about a "Major Hiccup", at 38,116 miles on the vehicle, the car accelerated to 60 mph, but that was it and the engine refused to rev above 5000 rpm. They state the dealer could not find a problem with the CVT.

Has anyone else read this article? Does anyone have the same or similar problems with their mc CVT. I won't be getting my mc until the lease is over on my VW. However, meanwhile I have been on this site everyday. I guess i am hooked on the mc. I was considering the CVT but keep seeing similar complaints. There are also complaints with the manuals in the mcs and the mc regarding the yoyo and stumbling effect. Does this happen with the CVT in the mc also? Thanks.
