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

CVT doesn’t give me reliability anxiety, it’s a fleet car sold to police. Get it serviced regularly, it’s fine. Most people blame the cvt, when it’s actually the valves need cleaned, and O2 sensors, Spark plugs, coil packs need replaced. The stock tune needs updated. Even then the Subaru tune isn’t great. My kid loves the smooth as butter cvt ride. I love it puts her to sleep.

Pros: smooth ride, puts kid to sleep, reliable with service
Cons: stock tune not great, needs regular service
Vehicle: Subaru Forester
