    I believe CVT will *eventually* become serviceable. Medyo matagal lang bago mag catch-up skillset ng mga mekaniko.

    Before ECUs were a black box and some old schoolers didn't want them because hindi na 'tunable' like carbs were, but eventually we figured them out.

    DSGs were a black box and if they failed replace the whole unit, now for some models at least we have rebuild and even re-gear kits.

    jazz. if you can't get that new window-type a/c into your civic's trunk you'll appreciate a hatchback. and it's not just any hatchback the jazz got ULT seats, the rear seats collapse to create a deep flat floor

    Not w/o more maintenance expense & paranoia than the proven trannies mentioned. It's common knowledge that can be spun any which way. Call me old, old school, Scotty, whatever....still refuse to be a sucker for everything the manufacturers throw us. Just me.[emoji4]

    oo nga noh ngayon ko lang napansin na anti-cvt si trabahans. Pag mag tagalog ka mas mafeel yan hahahaha.

    Pag bai ka kasi ng bai sino lang nakakaintindi nyan. Pastillan!! (sounds like pastillas)

    Pero matipid yung mobilio cvt na pinapadrive sa akin. around 40 to 60kph eh 17kilometers per liter pag gabi waley traffic.

    maghanap kayo sedan na ganyan katipid.

    Simple lang workaround diyan and you don't need to splice anything so you don't ruin anything. You just tap one of the unused fuses of the car and install an additional USB port to which you can connect your dashcam to charge.

    Did it with our CRV because the 12V socket was inside the center console/armrest area.

    Here's a step by step guide for hardwiring a dashcam:
    DIY: Hardwiring your Dashcam - Team-BHP

    Literally not a deal-breaker, at all. Any decent car electrician can do it if you're not keen on DIY. And your warranty will stay intact because it's a plug and play (and removable) mod.

    There are much bigger problems for the 12th gen Altis - namely that it doesn't offer anything better than the rest of the competition. It doesn't drive better, look better, ride better, or have more features than other compacts. They all come with CVTs so if you'll believe the hype then it won't last any longer (or if you don't believe the hype, then there's no reason a Civic will not last as long as an Altis).
