| 2020 Honda Civic Si, 2020 VW Jetta GLI, or 2021 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport? | 17Relevance | 6 years ago | the-niman | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... combination of: comfort, reliability, being fun to drive, not-terrible fuel economy, and a solid powerplant. Basically, I am looking a fun but not too expensive daily driver. The options are: 2020 Honda Civic Si, 2020 VW Jetta GLI, and 2021 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport. I first thought about buying the Honda Accord 2.0t Sport. This is much bigger than the Lexus, but performance-wise, is great. It has a solid power plant (252 hp and 273 lb ft), and it drives pretty smooth, but the suspension is still sturdy. It comes standard with a bunch of convenience features ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I keep my car | 17Relevance | 1 year ago | SynnerSyndrome | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| So I took my car into the dealership today and I told him of what I was feeling and they told me after evaluating it that they felt the exact same thing. They said they did not see any error codes when they ran it through the test but they did feel the throttling. They got in the car and when they just started they could feel this throttling. They definitely said with a CVT engine that’s what happens. They said right now my car is what they call a ticking time bomb. What their suggestion is since there was no errors is to take the bottom of the CVT engine off check for any filings or metal filings or anything like that and change the fluids and try it that way. He said if there’s any issues that they find when they take the pan off they’ll just stop right there cause it’ll be a loss at that point. Which is not a good thing but he said right now that my car is on the better side of good rather than on the complete loss. However he said right now he would suggest to trade the car in and get something else. He said CVT engines just in it of itself are not good engines. Sorry transmissions I should say. He said problem is a lot of dealerships or companies I should say are all going that direction. He said now, if he wants to change the fluid right now that could destroy everything because the fluid might be the only thing holding everything together because it’s very thick. He said next time you buy a car if it is a CVT engine but he recommends against it but he said if you buy another CVT engine change the fluid at 30 to 40,000 miles | |||||
| 2018 Civic should I change the CVT filter along with the fluid? | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | RTZ | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I need to change the CVT fluid on a 2018 Honda civic. There is a pleated paper like filter in a housing called the transmission warmer that the transmission fluid goes through. Honda states this is not a maintenance item and they do not change it. Every DYI video I have seen the person changes this filter with it's O-rings at every CVT fluid change. What would you do? Change the filter or leave it alone. Thanks. | |||||
| Answer to: Should He Buy 2017 HRV EX with CVT | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | FJCruiser2014 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| While regular automatics are best, but still a Honda or Toyota CVT isn't bad. It's not like CVTs from other manufacturers that have ton of problems, so if buying CVT go with Honda or Toyota. I don't know what price this used hrv is, but one thing I've been telling many people these days is given the current used market in many cases buying new is worth it a lot better. I have seen brand new vehicles cost less than used of the same or like with $1k or $2k more being able to buy brand new. Just something to consider. | |||||
| Answer to: Mazda uses dual clutch transmissions??? | 17Relevance | 3 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| No. Pretty much every small non hybrid Toyota uses a CVT. The difference is that the Hybrids don’t have a conventional CVT, they have 2 electric motor-generators that mimic the behavior of a CVT - the Toyota HSD eCVT a very reliable tranny. Posted by: @scorpio1154 Mazda now uses a variation of a dual clutch transmission Not as far as I know. They use a 6 speed regular torque convertor planetary and it’s alright - although some people really don’t like its “shift logic”. They’re kinda average. What model? What DCT? Toyota It’s not like Toyota’s modern 8 speed automatics are much better than a CVT - I’m seen quite alot of them fail. In my answer to this question I liked back to a few other instances of them failing early. DCT's are from ones used by Hyundai/Kia Hyundai-Kia has a bunch of DCTs what one are you talking about? The PowerShift derived electronically actuated 6 speed dry dual clutch? The Hybrid hydraulic clutch actuator equipped dry 6 speed tri-clutch? The 7 speed hydraulic clutch actuator equipped dry dual clutch? Perhaps the wet clutch ones? They all drive and operate in very different manners. Besides, last time I checked, alot of their cars have a regular torque converter automatic standard. (with the DCT as an option on trims with sporty / hybrid powertrains.) | |||||

| From what I understand DCT will probably give the best performance, at the cost of potential high maintenance cost. The downside I hear is they don’t really do to well in slow conditions, they need to be going fast for it’s full potential. That is just heresay, as I’ve never really gotten to drive one for a prolonged amount of time. The CVT will probably give the best mileage and be the smoothest in stop and go traffic. I’ve gotten to use a CVT in a CR-V, and it wasn’t bad, it’s just different. So far so good on the CVT though. there is questionable longevity on any CVT but it seems Acura and Subaru are on the better side of CVT and Jatco/Nissan not so great. | |||||

| Answer to: Driving in Low Gear | 17Relevance | 4 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You have a CVT transmission TMK. (TBH, I’m not exactly sure how Low Gear works in a CVT, because technically there are no gears. A CVT can simulate gears, so I will go with that. I’ve never really tried Low Gear on a CVT.) For most drivers, keep the car in Drive The car is smart enough for the most part to figure out what gear to put it in. Especially in a CVT. TBH, I can’t even remember the last time I used Low/First in an automatic. Low gear is for when you are going slow, but need lots of power, like towing or rock crawling. It’s rarely used on highway speeds If you’re going 55 MPH in Low or First Gear for a prolonged time, you’re working the engine wayyy to hard. That is why there is gearing, so your engine can work more efficiently. | |||||
| Answer to: atf type | 17Relevance | 6 years ago | MrBean | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I just got thru chatting with the Valvoline people as well as a Parts technician at out local Toyota Dealership. My 2007 RAV4 does not have a CVT transmission, so the MAXLIFE ATF can be used in my car. The Parts person did say that the 2010 and later models had CVT, so my suggestion would be for you to either go to the Valvoline website and chat with them or call your local Toyota Parts Dealer (have the VIN number ready) and find out whether you have a conventional automatic transmission or one that's a CVT (continuously variable transmission). If it has a CVT then you've got to use the recommended CVT fluid, which I guess is the Toyota WS fluid. If not, then I would go with the Valvoline Maxlife fully synthetic ATF. | |||||
| 2015 Nissan Rogue 52k paid off... what now? | 17Relevance | 6 years ago | mrbill66 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Paid off our 2015 Nissan Rogue 52k miles now. Driving fine, no problems. But we found out that the Jatco CVT problems from the 2008 Rogues carried over to the 2015 (and beyond) Rogues. We want to keep the car because we bought it with the intention of driving it "forever and a day." But a $4,000 replacement CVT is a scary thought if it comes to it. Our question is this: What can we do to keep the car and dramatically reduce a major CVT expense down the road? We don't want to spend 5 more years buying another car if there's something sensible we can do to keep this one. We are thinking that maybe replacing the CVT fluid would make sense, maybe before the 60k miles schedule. And maybe the engine coolant more frequently that scheduled as apparently the big problem is that overheating is the big enemy to these CVT units. Is there anything else you might suggest? Should we consider either a manufacturer extended warranty or aftermarket warranty (and which ones are fair, if known)? Thanks Scotty! | |||||
| Answer to: Current Subaru CVT’s | 17Relevance | 6 years ago | dm4722 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Subaru makes decent CVTs. Probably not as good as Toyota, but I'd say at least close. As long as you do mostly light driving, I wouldn't worry much about the reliability of the trans. I have seen someone make it past 300,000 miles (not kilometers!) on a 2010 Legacy 2.5 with the TR690 CVT, not a single problem. And 2010, being the first year Subaru put the CVT into mainstream production, was the year with the most CVT issues. They have gotten a lot better with these transmissions recently, and while I wish they still used the old reliable Jatco 5 speed, times are changing and the CVT is here to stay. I agree with @iansr that you should follow Subaru of Japan's transmission service interval. Lots of premature CVT failures are caused by degraded fluid, and it doesn't cost much to change it every 30,000 miles as preventative maintenance. You could probably push it to 50,000 miles, just do it is the main message! | |||||
| 04 Civic Hybrid 156k miles Shuddering/Rumbling while accelerating | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | czi50agjb8wa | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Replaced both CV axles (torn boots) & lower ball joints, but noticed immediately after that it was vibrating real bad & that's with both wheels up. Could it be the dreaded shudder that some say can be fixed by draining & filling with Honda CVT transmission fluid or could it be the torque converter or the transmission itself going bad? I did drain & fill the transmission fluid with Valvoline CVT since I saw an Amazon review that said doing that twice fixed his problem. It didn't shudder after I replaced the fluid, only after I replaced the ax ... | |||||

| Answer to: To sell Manual 15 Civic or Not to sell | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The total cost of ownership of the non-luxury vehicle Honda CRV should be less than the luxury vehicle Lexus RX. . That being said, the Pre-2015 model year Honda CRVs don’t have the CVT transmission and their engines had only port injection (no GDI) - that’s a good thing! Model year 2015 was the first year they offered the CVT in the CRV (had issues in the first years) as well as GDI engines (with no port injection). So actually, for that 4th generation CRV (model years 2011-2016), I recommend pre-2015 years. It’s also best to avoid first year or two of ... | |||||
| 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L Manual or 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid CVT? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Yasker | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| So hear me out. I'm looking for a used car and I've been torn between these two for quite some time now. Now, I live in a small, mountainous European country, and driving stick has been a pain. I like manual cars for their zippiness and responsiveness but I wouldn't want to burn another clutch because there's traffic up a 25-degree steep hill. Also, I appreciate good gas mileage, that's why I was looking into the Camry Hybrid (only option here for the Camry, anyway). My budget at the moment is about 24k. There are a few Camrys here but only last generation, 2.5L 4-cylinder (CVT hybrid), with prices starting at 27k and up. However, there are a few 2017 1.5L VTEC Civics with either manual transmission or CVT, starting at 16k, which is much more managable for my wallet. There are no Accords within this price range, unfortunately. Corollas with the 2.0L engine are also surprisingly expensive, and I'm afraid a Corolla might be a bit boring. So, what do you think? Should I suck it up, learn to handle hills and bumps better, and buy a 2017 1.5L manual Civic? Or wait a bit, save up, and splurge out on a 2019 Camry? Or maybe go for a 2017 1.5L CVT Civic? Btw, the only available option here is to buy from a dealer, I'm afraid. There are almost no offers from private parties, with people either selling their cars to the dealer or to some retail company which handles it for them. | |||||
