From lack of real interest, I still notice more than a few car makers are having major trouble with their CVT.
Datsun being a major one with bad CVTs..
Been a manual trans guy for as long as I been driving.
Only went auto with my Toyota 4Runners.
Think the wife’s Subaru has a CVT, not sure, and I rarely drive the thing.
CVT in their current form are crap.. which is one of the Reasona Honda’s are now garbage.
Belt CVTs cannot last, they simply wear out.
Is this geared model goes into production then maybe CVT’s will see the reliability and longevity that cars have had… but belt CVT’s are just a system that can’t last 200-300k. They will fail long before they get the ther
Yep, reason we ended up going with a Kia instead of a Subaru a few years back was that the Subarus had CVT.
