What are your driving habits like? Are you a slow and calm driver or do you give it gas constantly? Do you have it tuned? Any other drivetrain related mods?My 2016 turbo cvt just passed 200k last night i drive about 7,000 a month since 2018
What's really impressive is for all the questions from naysayers about CVT/turbo longevity, you're over 200,000 trouble free miles (including 40,000 tuned).My 2016 turbo cvt just passed 200k last night i drive about 7,000 a month since 2018
maybe because people give up to easily, I had a 94 Accord where the transmission went out around 176k miles, I bought a used one and slapped it in there and drove the car to a about 250k before I came around a curve in the rain in the dark with headlights pointing at me on the other side of the road and hit a tree that was in the road (which I couldn't see due to all the other factors listed), my 95 Civic was lost to a flood around 127k, my second 94 accord was a salvage title but I still had close to 250k on it when I sold it off to the next owner, only thing wrong with it was the starter was slowing down. In this day and age the only reasons to NOT get a quarter million + miles on a car is if the car is TOTALLED or you failed to follow basic maintenance and then chose to scrap instead of replace transmission or motor, I've also got 240k miles on my Trailblazer with having to replace the transmission around 208k miles, but it does go through oil pretty bad, like a quart every 2,000 miles or so. my 99 firebird has similar mileage to the Trailblazer on the body but the engine was swapped before I bought it and that car is parked simply because I don't wanna spend the money to replace the intake manifold gaskets because the car is worth more in parts then it's worth to sell it even without adding the cost of repairing it on top of what I have in it.I know everyone "knows someone who got 400,000 miles out of their car", but in reality very few cars make it to 200,000 miles. Those high-mileage examples are rare and almost always involve mostly "highway miles". The average owner gets less than 200,000 miles before the vehicle is scrapped. Although you could keep the vehicle almost indefinitely if you keep repairing it, the reliability falls and the cost to keep it on the road climbs as the vehicle gets older. The following is the % of each model that has more than 200,000 miles and is still on the road.

So, 1.2% of the Civics on the road have more than 200,000 miles. I suspect that most last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles.
I did receive a letter from honda for extended powertrain warranty for 6years unlimited miles because of oil dilution problem. So if anything goes i *should* be covered.I feel confident in the engine (even though my oil smells like gas) just because I had B-series and K-series engines that went over 250k and got beat on, with less-than-ideal maintenance.
What worries me about my 2019 Si is the other crap, like the electric steering, all the other sensors, etc.
It was tuned for about 1.5 years and about 40k miles. During that time i did do “pulls” alot but almost all of my driving since then has been hwy driving from Austin to Houston and back every day.What are your driving habits like? Are you a slow and calm driver or do you give it gas constantly? Do you have it tuned? Any other drivetrain related mods?
Jesus, you drive that car as much as an on-the-road truck driver. You might catch up to the “million mile tacoma” guyMy 2016 turbo cvt just passed 200k last night i drive about 7,000 a month since 2018
I havent replaced any pads yet, it is all hwy miles. Rotors need machining though@Quicksipper
That's also pretty impressive, I did not thought that the turbo and CVT can last this long
How many new brakes did you need in 200,000 miles?
That's so impressive, I think you should create an own thread with this topic.I havent replaced any pads yet, it is all hwy miles. Rotors need machining though
