After 25 years of snowmobiling, I'll do whatever it takes to never own another belt drive. I simply hate listening to a motor drone on the power band when I'm just cruising down the road, the DCT eliminates that completely - I'll deal with whatever other shortcomings a car might have.
As long as there's at least one geared choice, that's where I'll be putting my money. As wrong as I feel the YXZ's 5 speed is (they've tried every year to get it right and failed IMO), I'd buy one before something with a CVT. But Honda solved that with the dual range 6 spd. DCT and I don't see that going away before I expire. #oleguy
The roll cage on this new Yamaha has no rearward bracing, that ROPS will lay over backward like a cheap date with any frontal impact.
