| Answer to: Should I buy a Crosstrek | 20Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| They're slightly bellow average. With good service I'd expect to get 125k-135k miles. The main weakness is the CVT and boxer engine being of bellow average quality, with correct driving and frequent service they can be decent but they're just not as good as the competition. Engine oil and filter every 4.5k-6.5k miles, replace CVT fluid every 25-35k miles, brake fluid every 20k (according to the manual), fuel filter every 50k, spark plugs every 60k - nothing special here. Well, the Camry offers the best reliability, comfort and driving experience. The Corolla is nicer to drive and be inside of than the Crosstrek but lacks ground clearance. THEN AVOID CVTs! In that case consider a MANUAL Crosstrek. Inside of a CVT there are two cones and a chain, when you're in mud or rocking in the snow - this chain may slip on the cones and scuff them ruining it. Most shops in the US do not rebuild CVTs so scuffed cones will require transmission replacement. Refer to these pictures of a Toyota CVT completely ruined after was rocking back and forth in the snow: And these Toyota units are much better built than the stuff inside of a Subaru. If you're shopping new - consider the fact that the current generation of the Crosstrek is being phased out. The 2024 model year will be a mild hybrid - which is another way to say "a useless waste of lithium" Unlike a real hybrid, this does not come with a big battery - so it does a disappointing 35 mpg combined while having all of the disadvantages of a hybrid. Consider a Corolla Cross - it's better in any configuration than the CrossTrek, and for off-road use I'd also recommend the hybrid as Toyota/Subaru hybrids use a PSD - so there's no belt/chain in the CVT, just a small planetary gear-set with no friction packs, so a reasonably bulletproof transmission (obviously not for heavy off-road use) | |||||
| Answer to: What do you think of a 2017 2.0 I4 Honda Civic w/ CVT? | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | yaser | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Toyota and Honda make their own CVTs and they are better built than Nissan. But consider that the CVT is weak (compared to other transmissions) and so you should take care of it. Change the CVT fluid every 30-40k miles to make it last and ONLY use Honda Fluid. | |||||

| See below: They are better now than when they first rolled out back for 2015 model year (when they had issues). Currently, of all the automakers using CVT, there’s seems the best (so far). Jury still out on Toyota’s CVTs. In your case, here, you also have a true and tried 2.4L NA I4 engine (2019 model year was last year they offered it before they went to strictly 1.5L turbocharged I4) | |||||
| Answer to: 2020 Subaru Crosstrek | 20Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Not a bad car at all, there are other options but it's decent for what it is. Other than having to drive it like a CVT - and avoiding internal slippage / overheating. Most issues with this CVT are caused by junk (metal, friction packs, ...) getting in the oil. Constant fluid replacements every 15k-20k miles maximum are a MUST! Another tip is to not do that, they will cause internal slippage and will accelerate the wear significantly. Here's a link to a recent post showing what getting un-stuck (rocking back and forwards to get going) will do to your CVT: (this is one of a Toyota Corolla/CH-R and the Subaru is better off-road but you should still treat it like a CVT and not like a manual / auto) Keep your radiator clean. Also, if your engine is the 2.0, check the oil level frequently once it has some mileage on it. | |||||

| @Jsg7300 Looks like per the brochure, the CVT transmission was an option for the Accord LX trim (6-speed manual was standard): but yours has the available CVT, which is NOT good. Honda has numerous issues with the CVT in the early years (and 2013 Honda Accord was first year of that generation and also first year to get the CVT). Ideally, you’d want to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles on those and baby them (don’t drive them hard), but I am reluctant to tell you to change the transmission fluid without knowing when the last time it was that ... | |||||

| Answer to: How long does honda cvt last? | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Honda builds decent CVT transmission that can last for a reasonably long time if you maintain them correctly and don’t abuse them. generally they can last you about 200,000 miles BUT there are a lot of documented instances of premature faliures. There’s a great video on “Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics” on a Honda CVT breaking down at 60k miles. And personally I’ve herd people claim them developing slipping at only 100k miles. No clue if that’s isolated cases or quality control issues… | |||||

| Hello, Scotty! I love you channel. I have a 2016 Honda Civic LX 2.0 with the CVT. I always have the recommended maintenance done when needed, especially the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles. I drive mostly highway miles. I bought the car 1 year ago used with 23,000 miles on it. I now have 52,000 miles on the car. If maintained, how many miles can I expect to get out of this Honda Civic?? I look forward to hearing from you. | |||||

| Is it this part? It's nothing expensive so yeah just change it as it's cheap maintenance compared to replacing a whole transmission. And with Honda it's very sensitive as far as the transmission fluid; do not try to make it cost you less by using any other CVT fluid other than Honda oem. | |||||
| Answer to: New 2022 Corolla or Keep 2011 ? | 20Relevance | 4 years ago | FJCruiser2014 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| As for CVT while it most likely wouldn't last like a manual but still Toyota or Honda CVT is good and reliable. If you take care of it with the regular maintenance it'll last you. Does it have to be Corolla manual? Honda is still making manual Civic. While most Honda Civic's with manual transmission have the turbocharged engine (which Honda is always my top choice when it comes to turbocharged), but the 2023 Civic Hatchback Sport trim comes with manual option and the 2.0L naturally aspired engine. | |||||

| Hello Scotty! My name is Andrei and I am a subscriber of your YouTube channel. I changed the CVT fluid recently on my Honda Fit 2017. I changed it @ 36K miles. I did the work by myself. I used HCF-2 fluid (per factory recommendations), and I purchased a warmer filter and a filter in the pan (filter assembly). I used the O rings ad a new gasket - all these parts were ordered and delivered from Hondapartsconnection.com (they are selling OEM parts). All the filters were replaced and I added the same amount of the fluid as I drained - approx. 4.2Q. Cycling throu ... | |||||
