    I hadn't heard anything about the DCTs going bad. I was looking for an ST (and dreaming of an RS) back before Covid and couldn't find any that were in good condition less than $20k. I just couldn't afford that. I got a used Malibu instead, and I think it is a pretty good car (I haven't had any problems anyway). I suppose it is pretty squarely in the mid-size class rather than a small compact.
