OK, this is a Fit forum, so I assume the majority of folks will recommend "yes", but I wanted to ask anyway.

I am an unabashed Honda guy and have been so for the better part of the past four decades (first Civic in 1978, and my second in 1993). I am now looking to get another Honda hatchback model, which means a Fit. I usually drive manual transmission, but due to health issues I'll be moving on to an automatic, which in the case of Fit, means the CVT. But I've heard bad things about the reliability of the CVT technology, so I'm here to ask you folks: how reliable is the CVT on the latest Fits?

Thanks, and happy motoring everyone.

the cvt has been flawless on my wife's '16. it's actually one of the few parts made in japan on the car.

the cvt is not the problem for me, the overall fit and finish is subpar for a honda ever since they moved production to mexico. if you can find a japan made 2016 Fit, you'll want to grab that for sure. my '12 is made in japan and the fit and finish is very good. not one issue on the car since taking ownership in 2012.

 

There are a lot of Japanese made fits now in the West. I hear good things about Honda CVT's

 

Yes.

 

Never heard much complains about cvt's of new models, should be worth a shot.
