Germans take apart a 1.5T at 60k miles. And it's spotless?

Interesting. Wonder how the condition of that engine compares with other similar mileage engines, also in the same road conditions?

Here is a ranking with 70 cars that they tested since 2014. Unfortunately you have to go through the slideshow:

https://www.autobild.de/bilder/die-neue-dauertest-rangliste-ab-2014--5130184.html

Spoiler alert:
the Civic is on ranked on 32. While engine and transmission worked perfectly well, the critique points are (freak already wrote it in one of the earlier posts):
- suspension is too hard
- all round vision is not good
- inconvenient Infotainment system
- hole in the A/C condenser
- rust corrosion on surfaces and cavities

Failure points: 12
Grade: 2+ (1 is the best)

In case someone is curious:

Rank #1: Audi A3 Sportback g-tron
Rank #2: Audi A6 Avant Sport 40 TDI S Tronic
Rank #3: Seat Ateca 1.4 ECO TSI
Rank #4: Audi A4 Avant
Rank #5: Toyota Prius 4

Rank #68: Audi Q3 2.0 TDI Quattro

Makes me think I may not have to worry too much about the engine and CVT much, since I have double the miles on my 16. Still runs strong.
