Reviews
My CVT in my ‘17 Corolla iM is at 95,000 miles. Super solid.
Pros: super solid
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 152888 km
Can't go wrong with either, I would test drive and see what you enjoy better. Both are top in class in reliability.
Pros: top in class reliability
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
Talking reliability? Not with Honda. The cvts is worry about are jatco(Nissan)
Pros: reliable
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
They are Ok if your ok getting less then 300k out of your Honda. They can last a decent amount of time but take way more maintenance then a standard Automatic. The truth is they will never be as robust and reliable as standard Automatic with a torque converter. Once the belt snaps its basically fucked too.
Pros: decent compared to other CVTs
Cons: less than 300k lifespan, more maintenance, less robust than standard auto, expensive to repair if be
Same thing just happed to us. 2014 Accord with 88k miles, CVT transmission inside belt snapped. I was in the car when it happened. No warning symptoms, no dash lights, just suddenly stuck on the side of the road.
Pros: no warning symptoms
Cons: belt snapped, suddenly stuck
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 141621 km
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
