My Nissan Pathfinder has a CVT transmission. According to the internet, it won't last 80k miles, at best. I've got 197k miles on it, plus I tow, and it's still going strong!
Pros: long lasting, still strong
Vehicle:
Nissan Pathfinder
Mileage: 317048 km
I’ve had a 2022 Honda Civic Sport that is a CVT. The CVT in the Civic is much more reliable without any issues
Pros: much more reliable, no issues
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
All I know is my CVT transmission nissan altima lasted a quarter of a million miles, I bought it at 165k miles never did anything to it besides brakes & rotors, oil changes, 1 alternator, 1 radiator & hella Tires tbh.
Pros: CVT lasted long
Vehicle:
Nissan Altima
Mileage: 402336 km

Nissan Versa by a long shot. Everything was great until the CVT transmission cooked itself at 110k miles.
Cons: CVT transmission cooked
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 110000 km
Wife has a 2016 or 17 versa sv. Nearing 100k miles. We've changed the cvt fluid twice and it still functions. That being said I don't trust it. You can feel the transmission get hot in stop and go traffic. It starts to lurch and feels like drivetrain lash. I would bet money that the transmission doesn't make it to 200k even with 2-3 more expensive oem fluid changes.
Cons: gets hot, lurches, drivetrain lash, unreliable
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 160934 km
