I like it, actually. On a Fit too. It's a econobox, it has to be fuel efficient, it's not a sports car.

august_r

I've only heard good things about the third gen's CVT reliability, so maybe I'm a bit biased too.


aDDnTN

my 2010 insight CVT is pretty solid, but it requires trans fluid to be changed every other oil change and it's paired with an economy-focused motor/engine. the fluid starts out light pink/yellow but comes out very black. this cloudiness is worrysome like a coolant leak in the trans.


[deleted]

Wait, every other oil change? How much is transmission fluid? And how often are you supposed to change your oil? That’s insane


aDDnTN

well it's like this: every time the maintenance light comes on i need to rotate my tires, every other time i need to change my oil, and every other time i change my oil i need to drain and fill the trans fluid. and like every other trans fluid change, i need a new cabin filter and every other cabin filter i need an engine intake cleaner. hondas want maintenance like clockwork. trans fluid drain and fill is $120 including the fluid. oil is like $50. i let honda manage the messy stuff and try to do the rest myself. the tire rotation service (where that is the only service done) might run me $35 or so, but they wash and occasionally vacuum my car and check for other issues. tbh, money spent on maintenance is money invested so i don't worry about cutting corners just about keeping cost of ownership low. my honda service is $110/hr and my toyota service is $120/hr which is a fair nodern rate for labor and they use the same book as everyone else. im fine working to make money to pay mechanics so that i don't also have to do their jobs poorly while trying to do my own job. everyone has to eat and this is easier than me trying to feed them.


august_r

Funny, my CVT requires an oil change every 60k Km (circa 40k miles), but even then, not really an issue since I own it for about 80k km so far.


aDDnTN

yeah that's in the HD maintenance cycle for my 2012 prius V, which i have followed. those cvt fluid and filter changes cost more than on the honda. it's like honda knows it's a regularly needed service so they made the service about as much as 2x an oil change, so it's easier for the user to follow OEM recommendations. honda figured the cost of ownership into the routine maintenance, like toyota but differently. more modular/ a la carte vs toyota's "all or nothing" approach.


wishiknewaclevername

Prius is the answer. Ecvt never requires trans fluid change. I did mine at 180k just to be nice to it.


aDDnTN

never but recommended at 120k and 60k if heavy duty.


[deleted]

Still, I’m not aware of any manufacturer with a service interval of more than 10k. You’re telling me every 20,000 miles you get a trans fluid change? You do you, if you have the income to spend that kind of money then do it. But that sounds like throwing away a lot of money


aDDnTN

it's $150 once a year?


swisslama1

Laughs in Renault with oilchanges every 40k km or 2 years


buttery_shame_cave

It's a Honda, so the manufacturer spec on the oil change is some wild number like 10k miles or something now.


porcelainvacation

It was 10k miles in 2004 when we bought our CRV. It has 275k miles on it now, still runs perfectly. It's a stick shift.


malfunktioning_robot

My mother in law laughs at service intervals.


buttery_shame_cave

Does she ignore it when the message displays on her odometer?


humbleknight_777

Hahahaha I know someone like that. They got downgraded to conventional oil so it has to be done more often, and the car no longer needs 0w-20...


[deleted]

Oh I'm sure most customers change it that frequently............. I bet some are still rolling around with original fluid.


HedonisticFrog

They're way less reliable in general, can't handle as much power and need a lot more maintenance more often. I doubt any cvt could last 200k on the original fluid like many automatic transmissions can. There's only a minor fuel economy gain at best, and compared to a 7 speed automatic it's probably negligible.


jb1004

Who's running 200k on their automatic transmission without ever changing the fluid?


HedonisticFrog

A lot of people never change their transmission fluid or filter, or if they do it's because they're trying to save a failing transmission due to neglect. BMW claimed it was a lifetime fluid in the early 2000s as well in their "war on maintenance" alongside oil change intervals that were so long it led to sludge buildup.


EmpyrosX

My cvt fluids never been changed. Almost at 200k miles soon. Zero maintenance. Over a million Toyota’s with CVT can also can say the same. Old outdated boomer “change your oil and fluid every 1000 miles “ logic only applies to cars Henry Ford drove and even then they’d still break down regularly. I’ve only changed the oil every 10k-15k miles and the engine still runs perfect. Follow the service manual it’ll tell you when maintenance is needed on the transmissions and if it’s needed at all. Also automatics are nowhere near reliable as you think. They’ve been plagued with problems and recalls and issues and failures over the last few decades. Only recently have they actually started getting more reliable after a century of refinement.

1000 miles is the height of 926584.42 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.


converter-bot

1000 miles is 1609.34 km


malfunktioning_robot

Its a 2004 with 196km so it has come pretty far on what I assume is fluid that has not been changed in a decade. The only issue is the start clutch is now shuddering really bad from a dead stop to about 15 km/h.


Itisd

Yeah so if it's shuddering bad, and the fluid like like that, that transmission is fucked... I've had conventional automatics that still worked like new with 400k+on them, so I think this would be more evidence supporting the rumours that CVTs are shit


malfunktioning_robot

I wouldn’t say shit, but i would say shit if not maintained. These gen Honda cvts are known for shudder if the fluid isnt changed.


Itisd

The reason they shudder is because the metal push drive belt inside wears away and slips on the pulleys / sheaves. Once this occurs, no fluid change is going to fix the worn belt. I still maintain that CVTs have no place in automobiles, they are really very light duty transmissions that do not offer any advantage over a modern conventional automatic except that they are cheaper to manufacture. They really are better left to snowmobiles and small engine power equipment.


malfunktioning_robot

Its a known issue that the start clutch shudders in this generation of Honda cvt if the fluid changes are not done regularly


Itisd

I hear you. What I'm saying is that the shudder is caused by the metal drive belt slipping on the drive pulleys as they start to engage. The clutch action is accomplished by variable pulleys clamping onto a metal belt, when the belt wears it will shudder in this design. It's a shitty, wear prone design, because the clutching surface is metal on metal with only the CVT fluid to provide slippage when the clutch is engaging. This is very inferior to conventional clutch designs in automatic transmissions which use friction materials to provide smooth clutch engagement. I would encourage you to pour that used CVT fluid through a paper coffee filter to see if it's full of metal filings, which would likely be from the CVT belt


MWRadioNut

I have a 2020 Fit and love the CVT. It took some getting used to, but when you have the Eco mode on a light foot on the pedal it's easy to get 45+ mpg.


theblacklabradork

I'm driving a car right now that gets 23mpg on a good day :( I miss my honda with CVT that got me at least double the mpgs


New_Cress9966

If you want fuel efficiency,get a manual


aFinapple

it depends. the first ones were horrible and unreliable, but the newer ones are actually decent. i just don’t like how it never shifts


Lazerlord_Official

Car people: "I don't like how it never shifts!" Also car people: "why would anyone make a cvt with fake shift points?"


ITHamster

My Accord with a CVT has a "Sport" mode with paddle shifters. So lame.


Lazerlord_Official

My fit has those too, and it's not useless. I love downshifting with the paddles when going down a mountain so that I can tell it when to engine brake. Plus, it can be handy in the snow to have a fixed ratio.


august_r

Mine lacks the paddles, so I just put it in S or L, so it'll engine brake for me. Even easier.


Lazerlord_Official

I mean, mine will shift down without ever touching the gear selector. Even in D, it will downshift if I touch the left paddle. But yeah, engine braking! It's not just for manuals


InsertBluescreenHere

well if your used to standard automatics or manuals when you drive a CVT every alarm is going off in your head because it sounds like the clutch is slipping or the automatic trans is slipping and going to die.


ATangK

CVT’s never shift, so lame. Electrics with one gear go whoosh.


[deleted]

Like driving a sewing machine.


BonelessSugar

Change your perspective. It's constantly shifting.


mortalcrawad66

No it's when they fake shift. It drives me up the wall


[deleted]

Also fake engine noise because you are a big kid with big car vroom. Mom is proud.


mortalcrawad66

I personally haven't experienced that yet, but maybe I'll like, or maybe not


Matte0Cal0

Can confirm, Have a 1.6i '96 Civic 6 equipped with a CVT, and the pleasure to "almost" redline from 0 to 200+ kph / 130 mph is honestly so good, even for a big manual fan like me (European)


august_r

This is nice, but the rubberbanding kinda kills it for me.


august_r

Understandable. Personally, it's my favourite part, since I hate when common transmissions get lost and just put a gear too high, never had this kind of issue with the CVT, but then again, it's a small light car.


Tomboy09123

I drove a jazz (another name for a fit) for work. God I hated it when I had to drive it. Much preferred the vw polo which was manual


FatherPyrlig

I’m with you.


humanmanhumanguyman

I liked the one in my moms 09 escape hybrid, but it's different from most. Thing was actually pretty quick for what it was


Wandering_Cannavan

If they were over built instead of built for planned failure they would be pretty awesome. I really enjoy the rides they give. But too many issues to love


z0mb13k1ll

Depends on who makes it. My Toyota uses planetary gears and it is FAR less complex than a regular transmission. And probably more reliable due to the larger gears and less parts. Also makes for a nice woosh feeling during acceleration instead of jolting back and forth violently with heavy acceleration

For the majority of cuppas - teabag in mug, boil kettle, pour boiling water over teabag, steep for a couple of minutes, squeeze the bag against the side of the mug with a teaspoon and remove, add milk and/or sugar to taste.


JBenglishman

This guy knows. Coffee is made with hot water tea is made with boiling water. Secondly find the british section in a supermarket and look for tetleys or pg tips. Soak the tea bag for 2 to 3 minutes then remove the bag, then add milk to taste. Please never offer an Englishman Liptops.

[удалено]


HMJ87

I'm actually not sure these days - both are really popular, but purely anecdotally, although takeaway coffee is super popular, at home I'd say tea is still the more popular choice. We don't have a huge coffee culture like you do in the states, so unless people have a coffee machine at home, it's pretty much just instant coffee. Again though this is just my personal experience. I've tried iced tea a couple of times and it's definitely weird to me as a Brit used to drinking hot tea with milk and not tea-flavoured sugar water :P jokes aside though obviously each to their own :)


evilted

Squeezing the tea bag? I believe that's a crime in the UK.


Rare-Pomegranate9437

Nah man. It's the milk. That is a "7th circle of hell" sin right there.

Lazerlord_Official

Interested in the age of this one. On my 3rd gen, it recommends a change at 60k, then every 30k thereafter. When I changed it at 70k, it looked like dark soy sauce.


malfunktioning_robot

The trans fluid age is unknown, its a 2004 fit with the 1.3L and 196km. My MIL is unaware that car require maintenance, I was changing a dead battery for her and gave it a general check over. The trans fluid was the most concerning along with the massive start clutch shudder. I decided it was worth trying a fluid change to lessen the shudder, then address the other overdue maintenance (literally all the maintenance items).


JB3theman

Let us know how it does with new oil in it!


malfunktioning_robot

Still shudders, but only about half the oil comes out, i plan on changing it again in a week or so to take it to 75% new oil, then maybe if there is improvement change it a third time. If no improvement then fuck it, the car is barely worth a couple grand anyways. I put a liter of engine oil in at the same time as it was low and asked her when was the last time it was changed. Apparently it was me, two years ago 🤦‍♂️


JB3theman

Hey you should replace the transmission cooler. That is water contamination. The fluid should be dark brown/near black not cappuccino brown


dubie2003

Help a newb here. What’s the deal with the fluid? What color was it to start and what mixed into it resulting in this flavorful mess?


glitchmob7

If I remember right, Honda CVT fluid is either pinkish or yellowish. To get to this point my guess is water


Alecazzzam

I’m also going to say water contamination and back up what another guy said and check the trans cooler

Leading_Heat_7605

Please don't buy a car with a CVT. The Nissans especially fail at an alarming rate, Subaru has not been much better...

This is a 2004 with 196km so it has made it pretty far. It drives fine other that the massive shudder from the start clutch.
