Hey Scotty! How long do newer Honda CVT's last? Honda automatic transmissions are somewhat weak but I'm thinking of reccomending a Honda to my friend who would have otherwise considered a Mazda or Subaru. He hates his Rav4 so that is NOT an option. The one I am looking (United States) at is a 2017 model with the Natually Aspirated 2.4 Non-turbo and has 21k miles.
I'm not a big fan of CVT's. That's why when bought my 2020 Accord, I went for the 2.0T with the 10-speed. Much more reliable.
Honda's automatic transmission are fairly reliable I know people who use honda accords as taxis with 300k miles or more on it with the older 5 speed auto. Just dont floor it and take ur time accelerating and it should last.
If your friend is looking for a better deal tell him to look for some pre 2014 Honda CRV with 5 speed auto if he can find a good low miles one it would probably last even longer than the new ones with CVT because all cvt all electronically controlled to keep rpms low around 2k for gas milage.
Just do due maintenance and it will serve you well
