Hi Scotty, Love your channel. Watching for years. From Victoria, TX.
I have a friend that's a owns the local Honda Dealership. He has a 2014 Honda Accord Sport w/103k miles in excellent shape (had it checked by my Mechanic). I own a 2011 Nissan Rogue w/91k miles.
He's willing to do an outright exchange for me because he knows how much I despise my Nissan. But I know that Honda also has a CVT which scares me!
Should I trade??
Thanks everyone.. I figured as much.. Honda it is..
Hi, maybe you should make that a new question so you get more answers.
The importance of a mechanical inspection is seen here! Those cars aren't known for oil dilution so it definitely a. hasn't been cared for or b. is a lemon. I'll give my CX-5 opinions on the new thread if you decide to make it, but not a bad purchase at all.
Honda's cvt is rated highly by Scotty because they don't outsource them and make them in-house. I'd jump on that deal quickly before they change their mind.
Thank you!
Trade.
Now.
Stop reading this and go!
hahaha.. OK. will do!
The Honda CVTs last a long time and are farely reliable if cared for. You would want a mechanic to check it out because maybe it has problems. If its in good shape, the Accord is a much better car than the Rogue.
My mechanic said jump on the deal.. I wanted some opinions from people that's had experience with the 2014 Accord Sport w/CVT..
According to this, that year Accord doesn't offer a CVT, so you're in the clear if you are afraid it would have one:
Yes they did. Check all the trims....cvt's are there even for Sport

(variable gear ratios) means CVT
