I found the CVT completely inoffensive and will go so far as saying it functioned very well when driving my dad's.
As for the 1.5T, fuel dilution is a known attribute of these engines. Unless you're in a particularly cold climate I probably wouldn't worry as, other than noting the behavior, there is zero indication of ill-effects due to it. Honda has designed all of its modern turbo engines with the exact same reliability targets as its naturally aspirated engines.
Nope! The shade-tree mechanics/engineers here on BITOG say other wise. Who would you believe?
