Her current ride, 98 stratus her grandparents gave to her when she was 11 or 12, I drove it the few years too keep it loose. Only had 100,000 miles then, and everything worked, today no ac, ps or FM radio and 240,000 need a new alternator, my 14 yo son is going to try to get a few more years out of it and is excited about it, got his school permit last weekend.

Jatco, majority owned by Nissan makes CVT for the Spark and Mirage probably more. Consumer reports says 09's are good, used CVT's on ebay are only $400. Seats are 5x better than the cobalt's. I didn't drive it but the seats were instant confort after 120 miles in the cobalt.

I still like Nissan product better than most GM's but living in the sticks, GM's are just cheaper to buy/own. Love to get a Juke for the wife and Micra for me after I wear the cobalt xfe out or hand it down to my current 14 yo.
