Honda's CVT is seemly bulletproof at stock power levels. At my wife's work(Honda specialist shop) they have never had a Honda CVT failure, with numerous customers at over 250k miles. And many more at around 200k.

Pros: bulletproof at stock power

The CVTs aren't bad, the key thing most people who have needed replacements is lack of maintenance. I've seen Honda Odysseys that have driven as NYC cabs need transmission fluid at 10k cause of the driving.

Pros: not bad if maintained
Cons: requires strict maintenance
Vehicle: Honda Odyssey

Not blown up yet.

2005 model, bought used 2015 at 68,000 miles (109,000km) and still have at 235k mi (378k km).

Insufficient pressure causing slipping if trying to accelerate in reverse. Will reverse at idle fine. Been like that since I got it, no better or worse now. No issues forwards. No juddering of start clutch. Drain/refill of CVT-F every 25k mi (40k km).

Will repair it as necessary when it fails.

Pros: no issues forwards
Cons: slipping in reverse
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 378000 km

Cons: tons of issues, reliability concerns
