in 8 years we'll see

or rather we'll see in 2022 if they're indeed reliable enough. if they are then i'd definitely buy coz i like how they work. but by then i'd probably be already driving an electric car which doesn't need a multi-ratio transmission

CVT is still inherently not as durable with or without a torque converter

but i'm sure the current one is durable enough if you drive it like a lola

yeah dude, well they screwed the first one up, how can we trust them now LOL

only time will tell. until then it's all speculation. if you have a CVT better change the cvtf more frequently and avoid hard acceleration. where's the fun in that, right?

Do you know what part always broke on the old Honda CVT?

It was the clutch packs. Not the belts. Not the pulleys. The clutch packs. The belts are lifetime items, and will last as long as you'd expect a timing chain to last. (forever or a million kilometers, whichever comes first).

Torque converter = no more stress on the clutch packs.

Well, that's not true. The clutch packs can still be destroyed through extra-hard driving. They're only built for a certain amount of torque (which is why it's a terrible idea to turbocharge a small engined car with an automatic...)

But this is true of NON-CVT automatics as well.

Meaning: The Honda CVT should be just as reliable/unreliable as your regular automatic transmission. Which, yes, you should drive like a granny, because CVT or not, fixing a slipping auto is a pain in the friggin' arse.
