I'm so sick of econo cars with the CVT's

Of course, those were wonderful little engines, but all else being equal, an engine that doesn't have to work as hard should last longer. 300,000 km is impressive when compared to typical Big 3 fare, but I've seen plenty of Honda Civic's, Toyota Echo's, and Mazda 323's go well past double that and beyond with basic maintenance. I fully expect a 1.6L Micra in the hands of a sensible driver to be able to reach the million kilometer club.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
