Can i buy a new honda w/ CVT and drive it 120,000kms for 10 years ?

If the CVTF oil change interval is followed then it should be fine upto 200k mi(if i remember correctly). Even the corolla/prius cvts and are doing over 200k-miles. some mirage cvts have gone over 200k-miles

most cvt failures are because owners are stupid at skipping cvtf oil changes. most forum threads come up because of user error.

You don't even have to skip it.

Just driving the car harder than normal can lead to premature failure.

I recall that a friend had to change trannies on his iDSi before selling it. He didn't drag race the thing or run it hard all that often. Though it had seen track action, he always made sure to be gentle on it when starting from a stop, to presserve the clutch packs.

And he followed maintenance intervals religiously (he owns a shop).

My cousin's VTEC also showed signs of slippage before he sold it. That one never saw any track action at all. All family use and occasional blasts on the highway.

Both were around 100-150,000 kms.

The big issue here is that Honda didn't build those early CVT units for servicing... so even if the transmission itself was still good, when the clutch packs went, you had to replace the whole thing.

Mirage, don't know yet. Any Mirage with over 200k at this point has been doing large miles on the highway. At the ten year mark, we will start seeing 200k km Mirages with more traffic miles on them.

The Prius, on the other hand, doesn't have a belt-type CVT. It uses a planetary gearbox, which is all mechanical and pretty damn tough.
