"The thing works perfectly fine until it breaks." -Scotty

Scotty once again masterfully conducts an invisible symphony orchestra.

I’m so frustrated Standard Transmissions are being phased out and CVTs aren’t 🤬

I see that TRD Toyota Camry back there Scotty😌

"As time goes on, they seem to be perfecting the CVT transmissions" In other words, the car buying consumers were Honda quality testers. And they paid the bill when the CVTs broke down.

Had two toyotas with cvt. Both saw high mileage . No problems whatsoever. Change oil and filter that's it.

The way he waves his hands all the time, is so funny 😝😝.

My Civic has 78k miles and still runs good. I change the CVT fluid every 20k miles!

Scotty's arch nemesis, the CVT Transmission

4:24 "Very competent mechanics" *PERFECT* picture for that comment, Scotty! 😂

I’m just glad Honda still makes a solid manual transmission.

I’ve got a 2015 civic exl, I asked honda about my cvt and was told mine has no recall. I think it depends on what trim level of civic you have, when it was built and where it was built. The ones with the recall had weak shafts because of the metallurgy mistake, the hardness of the shafts were weak.

Scotty: 0:02 Me: No thanks, I might blow a head gasket....Its a Dodge 🤔

Real world experience: 2018 Civic EX-T (1.5 liter Turbo), bought new. Currently, 94,400 miles, 33.2 mpg. Transmission fluid changed twice. Coolant flushed once. Never redlined. Rarely exceeded 4,000 rpm. Always come to a full stop before shifting from reverse to drive. Always use the electronic parking break before releasing the break pedal when shifting to park. As of Jan 3 2022: No issues, so far.

Before clicking on your video I was 100% sure it's the CVT

I'm Dead Serious, Stop Buying Nissan cars and start buying 94' Celicas.

Got a used 2018 Civic Hatchback CVT a few months ago. Love it so far.

Great mechanic and comedian I don’t think it’s possible to watch Scotty’s video’s without laughing 😂😂😂😂

My 2009 Lancer with a CVT is still going strong with 100k miles, I really love it and really hate Standard transmissions, at least on busy cities

2016 Toyota Corolla S has a CVT w/ 105k and no problems. Haven’t touched it...probably should change the fluid haha. Works great for me!

Most things work perfectly fine until they break.

Another perfectly ORCHESTRATED clip by the great CONDUCTOR Scotty Kilmer. Keep up the great work 👍

My previous ride was a 2001 Honda Civic HX with a CVT. I had it for 15-years. No problems and great fuel economy. My current car is a 2016 Honda Accord LX, also with a CVT. Runs fine. If I were to buy a new car in 2021, I think it would be a Hybrid. Either a Prius or Camry.

I’m watching Ozzy Osbourne with the voice of Rod Stewart

I’m amazed by where the redline is on the new CVT Honda Civics.

ZF company sold 3.1 million of their 8 speed transmissions in 2017... Heard Scotty say that in 4 different videos in 1 week :P Love you Scotty

Got an HRV 2019 with extended bumper to bumper warranty directly from the dealer that covers 100k miles. I will drive it until then for about 6 years then I’ll upgrade it before anything happens 😏 And if anything happens I will just bring it to the dealer and they will fix it as many times as it fails.

I have learned so much from you. You know your stuff. I will say this it seems to me that the cvt is better and long lasting in cars that have small engines 4 cylinder non turbo 120-130 hp and keep up the service.I know a couple of people with a Nissan cube they both have over 150 thousand miles on them and still going strong

CVT transmissions are like Comet torque converters. They wear out way too soon.

Just seen i was right the old celica is where it always was and i think always will be out side the garage Well done Scotty true to your word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for talking about the Honda CVT because I was leery of it. Still might go with a manual.

Scotty, I bought a 2019 Corolla hatchback. Your son is right, it's quick for what it is.. especially considering the gas mileage. I'm probably not as much of a leadfoot as him though. On flat roads, 75mph and lower, I've seen in the high 40s on the freeway! That's older hybrid territory!

And the conclusion I reached from watching this video? Other than avoiding early generation CVTs and pretty much all dual clutch transmissions, I can't tell which transmission he wants us to avoid.

He's right about if they are designed right, it will last. My 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer has 160k miles and it still runs great! It does whine when it gets hot, but I change the fluid every 35k miles.

Great explanation of CVT and dual clutch boxes.

Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..

3:06 DCTs don't need to have an even number of gears. A lot of them have 7 gears.

Reminds me of my mum's car.. Nissan Rogue/ X-Trail the CVT blown on 19K kilometers

Anybody else waiting for the side view mirror to snap off when Scotty was leaning on it like a scene from Dumb and Dumber?

Thank you for doing what you do. Keep it up love your video's

Thanks Scotty! (Still kind of dubious with regard to CVTs ). Personally I'm leaning towards a manual transmission while you can still get them...

For me, I'd rather have a CVT than a sloppy automatic. Manuals are still good though. But not everyone wants those!

Very informative! Thanks!

You should talked about semi automatic transmissions and how they work. And the pros and cons. I can't find much information about them. You're definitely the best place to find the information I'm looking for.

Scotty: I have a son, "he drives like a maniac." Considering your acceleration to 50 on what looks like a residential road, I'd say, like father like son. I do like your videos, though.

I had one of those Honda Civic HX with the early CVT. Fortunately, mine never gave out and I was delighted by the 42-45 mpg in my all gas engine way back in 2001 when I bought it used. It was a fantastic commuter car! Honda and Toyota make their own CVTs and have refined them well. But I would not buy a car with CVT in any other car.

Thank you sir, for sharing the wonderful insights into Honda s CVT performance over years. In 2012 November, I went for 2012 accord LX model for 19,300$ instead of 2013 for 21300$. Simply because 2013 was moving to CVT and I just did not like the fact that after spending that kind of money I have to be a Guinea pig for Honda. Today after seeing this video, I am happy that I took a good decision. Thanks for sharing information that cab save us lot of hassle and pain in maintaining a car.

Scotty I don't know how you didn't do it but when you compared this Civic with the Civic-R and put the laughing horse up in the corner. I thought for sure there was going to be the pirate from SpongeBob SquarePants on there. Lol either way you know how to deliver a great laugh when people need it most. Love what ya got here bud. Thank you always 👍.

He's 100% right I had a CVT fail while driving. Wasn't fun and much more dangerous than how an auto or manual would ever fail.

1:22 Lol...Scotty, you got a reflected image of either George Washington or Albert Einstein on the windshield by the left side A pillar on that Honda Civic :-))

The Ford Fusion used the Aisin CVT from 2010-12. We never, ever seen one back for CVT issues, and some of them had well over 150K miles on them. The 2013-present day HF-35 CVT on the Fusion.....that's a different story. Quite a few of those crap out around 60-90K. Cost to replace the HF-35 CVT, about $8500.

Thanks for the warnings. My Forte has a CVT. So far - 34k miles, it's working fine. But, anything can happen. So, thanks for the info.

I like conventional wet plate clutches when it comes to automatics. When set up properly will perform just as well and last much longer.

FCA's new motto, "Works perfectly fine until it breaks" 😂😂

Hey that's my car! Mine is a 2013. Glad to learn about the shaft.

Hi Scotty. Thanks for information. Take care

Hi Scotty, first time comment here. I looked at consumer reports (ref Consumer Reports Buying guide for 2020 edition)for the 2014 and 2015 Honda Civic. They rated the transmissions for both years with their top ratings for any major or minor categories. How do you think they missed this recall affect? I love your videos and that you share your years of experience with your followers. Thank you!

For an economy car, I still prefer the 5-speed manual transmission in my 2012 Corolla over anything else.

I was planning to choose that model to be honest, after watching this video I realized looking again at second market of this car, there's lot automatic on sale rather than manuals. Thx Scotty!👍

I’ve heard horrible stories about CVT transmissions. And Nissan doesn’t build those transmissions right. I’ll keep my manual transmission on my 2020 Versa

haha you finally reviewed my car! 9th gen honda civic. hope that software fix worked, transmission hasn't grenaded itself yet luckily and I do not drive the thing gently at all

Mitsubishi seems to have figured out CVTs, on a 2014 Outlander with 117k miles the transmission has been running like day one. They’ve had some software problems with em causing hesitation in 2015-2016 models but for the most part they seem to be doing alright.

We love you Scotty 🙂🙂🙂 thank you Scotty I took your advice and bought a Toyota Highlander, do to the fact I have this Nissan sentra terrible CVT transmission went out ONLY AT 90,000 MILES AND I HAD TO BYE A USED TRANSMISSION TO FIX THE CAR AND EVER SINCE IT ONLY BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS I HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 6 MONTH ONLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A YEAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD ONLY 79,000 MILES AND BACK IN DECEMBER 2019 I BOUGHT MYSELF A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER WHICH I NEVER LIKED TOYOTA OR THOUGH THEY WERE REALLY GOOD VEHICLES AS YOU STATED THEN I WENT AND DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS TRUE TOYOTA ARE THE BEST AND RELIABLE VEHICLES, AND KEED IN MIND I WAS A HONDA AND ACURA OWNER AND THOUGH NOTHING IS BETTER THAN A HONDA UNTIL I JUST BOUGHT A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2014 AND NOTICE HOW REALIBLE VEHICLES THEY ARE I BOUGHT IT WITH 147,000 MILES AND IT DRIVES AS NEW I'M SHOCK TO SEE THIS IN A VEHICLE, ALSO I NOTICE THAT IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC THERE ARE LOTS OF OLD TOYOTA FROM THE 80S STILL DRIVING IN THE STREETS AND THEY ARE VEHICLES BEING USED IN THE Most EXTREME WAY IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND THEY ARE STILL RUNING BUT YOU LOOK FOR HONDA AND THEY ARE JUST TO LITTLE HONDA BEING USED AS A MEAN OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, WITH THAT ANALYSIS I WENT OFF AND BOUTH MY TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AND THE ONLY THING I HAD TO DO I JUST CHANGE THE OILS AND BOUTH THEM NEW TIRES THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT BACK IN DECEMBER 2019 GOODYEARS TIRES AND OIL CHANGE EVERY 5,000 MILES ALSO WORTH SAYING THAT I RAN A CAXFAX REPORT AND I'M THE SECOND OWNER IT CAME FROM CALIFORNIA SOMEWEHRE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE OF CALIFORNIA PEARL WHITE BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR AND THE OWNER EVERY 57,000 MILES TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECKED AND OIL CHANGE WITH 4.5 OR 5 START ON THE CARFAX REPORT, RELIABLE VEHICLE YES IT IS I DROVE IT FROM THE CITY OF SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICANA REPUBLIC TO SANTIAGO, PUERTO PLATA ON THE SAME DATE TRAVER THEM 3 CITIES THE SAME DATE AND NO ISSUES ALSO TRAVE TO LA ROMANA SAME DATE TRIP AND NOTHING NO ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN SENTRA I WENT AND TRAVED FROM THE CITY OF SANTO DOMINGO TO LA ROMANA AND ON NY WAY BACK THE TRANSMISSION CVT BLEW UP HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE LATE AT NIGHT 9PM ON A DARK HIGHWAY SCARY STUFF TO THE CAPITAL AND THAT'S WHEN I HAD ENOUGH AND BOUGHT A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER!

Note to self: Never buy Scotty's son's car.

Thanks for answering my question about taking the cat off my 77 vett . You're the best 👍👍

Regular automatic transmission in a rear wheel drive setup is my choice. Most solid as there is few space constraints in laying out the transmission in the drivetrain so you can build them to be reliable.

Honda recalled my 2001 Civic Hx's CVT starter gear and supposedly replaced it. It seems to have worked for the following 10+ years until I sold the car. At the time I sold it, some 15 years since I bought the car, it was still getting 30 to 36 miles per gallon on daily work commute like the day I got it.

As soon as I saw transmission the first thing that came to mind was Honda haha. Their MT's are just perfect though

"Accelerate up the hill" .......LOL..... from Colorado.

Great video Scotty, I came hear you knowing you were going to say CVT LOL at the auto show a few years ago a Nissan representative was telling me why the CVT transmissions are so great and represent the future, he had no response when I asked him why they don't put them in the truck or the GTR And as far as all dual-clutch transmission needing to be an even number of years technically that's not true because the Volkswagen Audi group does have a 7-speed the dq381

We have a 2014 civic lx with a CVT we purchased it new and now has 160,000 trouble free miles . Have changed the fluid in the CVT when it was recommended.

Seems like before the Honda CVT software update my 2014 Civic's acceleration was more lively. Not as much now.. But, on the plus side: my transmission hasn't exploded yet... So far so good, I guess.😆

So which Transmission should we stop buying, CVT or DCT? The problem with DCT vs a manual is in a manual you mostly wear the clutch from a standing start, and if you're gentle this can be minimized, for the rest of the shifts you try and match the revs to the gear before letting the clutch out. A DCT doesn't do this as it shifts like an auto, so it doesn't rev match and just drops the clutch into each gear.

Hey Scott, thinks for the videos I'm learning along just about bought a Toyota camry till I saw your video, when you recommended not to buy. Thanks I think you saved my bacon.

The wife’s CVT in her 2015 Nissan just bit the dust at 97k miles. As a faithful student of Scotty’s, I know he teaches us to stay away from CVT transmissions and Nissans...BTW she had this car before we met so it wasn’t me that failed Scotty, LOL. Anyway, the two cars we’re looking at (Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic...again from Scotty’s recommendations) all seem to come with CVTs now. So I came here to see what Scotty thought about these new ones. I’m relieved to hear that they make them better now. We’re going to go with the civic. I myself have a Camry. I want the opportunity to personally compare the two most recommended makes and see which one holds up better.

"When they Break"... commercial cliffhanger

Just can't possibly dissipate the immense heat off of those pulleys without frying the rest of the transmission. I've seen the old Jatco's in the Mitsubishi's last 200K and the same trans last 70K. Front tires and the brake pedal pad was always worn on those that failed. Aggressive off and on the accelerator driving kills them.

My CVT just went out in my 2015 Civic. I have 261K miles on it. Cost to replace the CVT through Honda is over 7k. I can’t complain though. That’s a lot of miles on it.

Good summary and review....

I'm sticking with a manual even if gas mileage wasn't as great now than it was before and I'm a millennial

Scotty's son drives like a maniac. I wonder who he learned that from? Hey Scotty, any ideas?

Cvt rough on mine BUT , they are amazing for long distance. Cvt is to provide minimal fuel useage. They provide just enough power to move vehicle

Passat VW 2.0tdi 140hp 6g DSG, 300kkm works perfect with no one issue. Every 60kkm wet clutches dsg oil changing. My brother has rav4 toyota cvt, it is unable to drive for me, I have got feeling it doesn't accelarate, my friend rav4 as well cvt, one week after guarantie expired cvt dead. Cost 8500Euro. Thank you Mr.Scott for good advice ;)

The more I watch these and other videos about the new age car, the more I know that the auto industry has lost it's way.

I like about these how the RPM goes all over the place seemingly randomly, but they make the mileage impressive.

My sister and I both have a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer with a Jatco CVT. Sis changed her fluid at 60k (70k now). I changed mine at 32K (only 35K now). I know neither car is high mileage, but both still work fine. Actually, so far both cars have had zero problems of any kind.

we had a CVT in 1979. it was a DAF 66 (later volvo 66) they worked.. sluggishly, the a MICRA.. they REW to the moon constant on the 999cc engine. we had a honda with some sort of "semi auto" box thatyou had to start in low and when moving set to drive, then it was just as normal. now we have a DSG 6 speed. btw. they can be uneven. they just put 3 speed on one internal "box" and 4 on the other. in work by having an internal od and even box with it own clutch. moste is 7 speed by VAG. some use dry clutches some wet. it is a motorcycle type clutch stack.

Scotty, Your thoughts on Subaru CVTs?

Me watching this with my 2014 CVT Honda Civic: 😳

“Down-pat”, good to know someone else other than me still uses to term. When I slip it into conversation, I invariably have to then educate the other person/s, to their confused face/s.

Hi Scotty, I have the i-shift transmission Honda 2006. This is a manual trans. Robotized, there are two actuators controlled by the Computer to change the gears. Sure the clutch wears out like a normal manual transmission. The next thing is the actuators, 2 of them have to be rebuild, but that is no biggy, they are like 400 US for both. They last around 150K miles or they say. I am at 89K miles so I have few years to go yet. But in the UK where these Honda's Civic 8-gen were build, they have it down pretty well and not so expensive. I saw a video were the mechanic said that they will replace the clutch and the actuators, relearn and all in 6 hours. Thanks. Its very nice to drive many years, but that is not a drivers car.

The Subaru WRX comes with a CVT let that sink in.

Yeah, I agree with Scotty about CVTs. When they're made right they last for a while. That's why most scooters, you don't need to change the transmission fluid or anything inside. But yeah since cars are more complicated things end up breaking easily.

Most Dual Clutches above 200ft lbs use wet clutches. Also my Porsche PDK has lasted 110,000 miles on the stock clutches. Also replacing them is not hard, slightly harder than a conventional manual. The software to recalibrate the clutches is cheap, VW you can use OBDeleven/ Porsche you can use a Modus or Softtronic.

Could you do a video on the newer Honda CVTs like in the newer 17+ accords

I absolutely despise cvt transmissions! I've drove a Corolla with a cvt and it always felt like the transmission was slipping. I also drove a Civic with a cvt. The Civic had a "manual" feature and tried it out. When I put it in 1st, the transmission hesitated then went into "first". The other simulated gears were fine it just did not like simulated first. I noticed that you have a Camry TRD parked out on the street in the background.

I received my insurance discount from my insurer I have my house my car and a liability policy and they gave me a check for $14 and change

Too late I didn’t research and bought one and having issues. I bought 2008 4 cyl Nissan Altima

I have a 2014 subaru forester with a CVT. 115,000 miles and no issues and no maintenance due yet. Still works as it did the day it was driven off the lot.
