The Cube CVT does have a reputation for failure and is expensive to repair or replace. CarShield is a company that provides repair insurance on vehicles. I got a quote for my 2009 Cube with 168,000 miles and repair insurance on just the drivetrain will cost around $2800 for a term of 18 to 24 months with monthly payments ranging from $120 to $150 over the term. This cost is still somewhat less than the reported $4000+ price of transmission repair.
Does anyone have experience with this company or other repair plans? It might be a viable plan for dealing with the inevitable.
