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

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
