Stella Auto Questions

Long time no post. I currently have a pink Stella with sidecar that doesn't get much love. I love her she's beautiful, I just don't use her much due to comfort level with shifting. I have someone interested in buying her but the thought of selling made me sick! I went online to see what she's worth and low and behold I see the Stella now comes in auto and has a sidecar option! So my question is has anyone tried the new auto Stella and sidecar? Is it a good solution for a driver looking for a cruiser to ride around the neighborhood?

The transmission won't be able to handle the extra load of the sidecar.

Where I agree that the CVT will eat parts at a higher rate. It should handle it with some upgraded parts. I don't think you should be in a big hurry. It won't be a very fast rig, but it should be fun.

The CVT has a life span of 2500-3000mi before things start falling apart. It's sad!
