175k on my Civic that's first year Civic to have one. Admittedly it was a slight concern when I bought the car. I've really enjoyed the transmission.
Pros: really enjoyed, high mileage
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 175000 km

Pros: smooth, love it
Vehicle:

Honda cvts pretty reliable. My wife’s accord shifts so smooth compared to the 6 speed auto in my Tacoma.
Pros: pretty reliable, smooth shifts
Vehicle:

I own a Honda CVT, with these if you change the fluid every 30,000 you should be good as long as you don't constantly do jackrabbit starts / streetlight race.
Pros: reliable with maintenance
that whiny CVT noise.
Cons: whiny CVT noise
Vehicle:
Honda City
As hard as I've tried I really just don't like the CVT at all. It's very unrefined and herky-jerky under hard acceleration and it reminds me of what it's like to drive a power boat. Just two gears...one forward and one backward. It does have simulated gear shifts (it's supposed to mimic a 7-speed transmission) but at the end of the day I just don't like it. This was my first AND LAST car with a CVT.
Cons: unrefined, herky-jerky, like a power boat
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
