Could anyone advise me on a 2004 ES8 Honda Civic ? Milage- 90,000km.
Is the CVT transmission reliable? what sort of life span does it have?
I am looking at purchacing a civic but a bit concern about the CVT transmission.

Cvt dont buy if you planning on not doing the proper maintenance and 90000km that cvt might give trouble anytime Better you buy the es5 model that is 2003 its ah 1.6 vtec and non cvt transmission

DeDragon- Thanks alot. I notice alot of vehicles coming with CVT now, I guess is how you treat and maintain it.
