CVT failures

[LeaveEarly]

Wait, so its not a 10th gen 1.5T then why should the alarm sound? Its a different CVT than the one in our cars. Has he seen a 10th gen failure?

Because no one has had time to drive the X gen to 60 000 miles yet.

I own a 1.5t CVT and when I put it into S mode I thought it was a fun drive. I agree with the one post where the guy mentioned that manuals are going to go away because technology and computers just do things humans can't. I originally wanted a MT but living in DFW only 3 MT Sports were available and in colors I didn't want. I definitely think MT are fun and give you a lot more control over the drive but that CVT engine is marvelous at keeping that turbo spooled which is why the S mode was actually pretty fun to drive.

I like Sonic on TV meaning online but picked PMM.

The Honda Cvt is a godsend when you consider the only other turbo CVT you got is the Wrx CVT and you get an idea of just what a hail mary this is. That and we can't drive a manual so the situation gets very dire straits. One thing I have observed is the CVT FE is not kind to a lot of idling and chilling but that is understandable. Great option.

guy posted it was brought in for service to due bad front wheel bearing, which isnt surprising since all the hondas i have seen have had the wheel bearings go bad at about 80k-100k

well I have 25K and I don't feel like I even drive the car much. In fact we have been driving our other car to try to try to limit the miles on the Civic (to get the full 3 years instead of 36K miles).

remember the 2016's were released like October 2015

I originally wanted a MT but couldn't find one in my area in the color I wanted. I also got the car on fathers day weekend when the dealership was running incentives. I had to get a car off their lot in order to take advantage of it. I am still pretty pleased with the CVT the only downside is the aftermarket performance won't be able to yield as much as a MT but I think I read people increasing to like mid 250's.

Another useless speculative thread. Pretty sure my CVT will explode before 100k.

A stupid thread ---

CVT has been good for Honda. Otherwise they would have never standardized on CVT for their 4 cylinder Accord sedan.

Whatever problems they had in their early designs they have moved on to a design good enough to be the standard unit in their top tier car -- the Accord.
