CVT transmission OEM Honda or OEM Subaru
Reviews
My CVT has original Trans at 269K miles, and still going strong. I do change the fluid every 30-40k miles.
Pros: original transmission, 269k miles, still going strong
Vehicle:
Honda Element
Mileage: 432901 km
I have a 2015 Honda Civic LX with almost 624000km. I remember hearing about the CVT discussions and I was worried but my car is still going. Newer CVT are much better than my model.
Pros: still going at 624000km, reliable
Cons: newer models better
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 624000 km
Honda's cvts are more reliable than their turbo engines and wayyyyy better than Nissan's cvt where no matter how much you baby the trans, it still has a decent chance to die early
Pros: more reliable than turbo engines, much better than Nissan CVT
The e-CVT is incredible. Gas mileage will be great too.
Pros: incredible performance, great gas mileage
Vehicle:
Honda Civic

My in laws cvt transmission went out at 45,000 miles and they wanted $10k to replace. Thankfully they ended up replacing the cvt under extended warranty.
Pros: cvt replaced under warranty
Cons: cvt transmission went out

Go with Mazda due to CVT transmission in Honda. Honda CVT failed at 65000 miles and had fluid changed twice at 30k miles intervals.
Pros: good engines that will last
Cons: CVTs are absolute garbage
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 65000 km
So disappointed in some of their products in the last few years. They're losing me with the CVT thing. Nobody can tell me CVT garbage will last as long as the conventional transmissions have.
Cons: disappointing reliability, won't last long
the CVT transmissions are fragile and don’t last much over 100k.
Cons: fragile, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 100000 km
