A CVT would last me no longer then 30,000 miles IF it was built for some sort of performance. If it was a Nissain CVT from 5 years ago. 5,000 to 10,000 . I will take a DCT. I expect no longer then 30,000 miles and I will be putting in a clutch in my Kona. If it was a CVT, to fix them you put in a new $6,000 trans.
Hyundai foreman admits that was the case w early CVT but no longer w Nissan. Also pointed out all the trends in CVT adoption vs DCT.
He also pointed out Nissan CVT has a torque converter.
The trend is zero transmission. Most new cars will be EV in about 10 years. from what I have learn about CVT over the years. I would avoid them. If you keep your cars for long, belts or chains don't last as long as gears.
