I guess you never drove and cvt car and non cvt car. Difference is night and day. I been driving Hondas for 20+ years and the mod scene will never die with Hondas. Younger generations prefer manual over automatic. Cost of repairs for manuals are cheaper than automatic. Turbo cars has more parts, more parts = more cost. Turbos can have anything from a leak from bad pressure or line to bent fins on the turbine. I don't plan to keep my civic forever so resale value is more important than personal value.I've never been in the used car market before, so you're probably right - the used market may only care about price, not features.
There's no evidence that the turbo will require more maintenance - this remains to be seen. We all realize we took a bit of a gamble with Honda's first turbo.
And there are a lot more people who want a peppy, reliable, feature-packed, and fun-to-drive car who will appreciate the EX-T > SI/CTR, CVT or not. SI/CTR will be a limited market.
