Kaysa puro theory, try niyo itest drive ng fully loaded at magtanong sa ibang mga owners ng real-life experience on load capability and transmission reliability.

Brother this thread is regarding the Mobilio CVT vs MT, not just CVTs in general. No doubt your FXT has no problem with 4 people on board at 120, even 200 kph. In my opinion, Subaru makes the best CVTs among ordinary cars. But alas, it's Honda's EarthDreams CVT that's facing the jury.

Honda's issues in the past with CVT failures was partly due to improper fluid specification and partly due to the dry clutches used with the lightweight CVTs.

The new Mobilio and Jazz/City CVTs use a traditional torque converter. And while torque converter lock-up clutches can also wear out, having a fluid-filled converter to match transmission and engine speeds before those clutches lock extends their life tremendously.

We really don't know if the steel CVT belts themselves will last, but at the very least, the clutches should last as long as the ones in traditional automatic transmissions. (Yes, you can wear down the clutches on a "regular" automatic, too, if you drive like an idjit).
