The fact that you had to replace it is one of the sore points. They just aren't as durable as traditional automatics or even DCT's. There's a reason that Nissan, Subaru, etc were forced to extend warranties for them. Also holding the engine at the best place usually means constant droning and booming from an economy 4-cylinder engine.
If you don't accumulate a lot of mileage on your car and just want a cheap A to B city commuter you will be satisfied but if you are one of those people that drive a lot and put lots of mileage on your vehicle they are not ideal. And if you like a spirited daily driver surely look elsewhere.
