Just starting to look, and this one is high on the list. Would likely try to pick up one with less than 30k miles instead of new. I know opinions are strong on turbo, and especially CVT, but please have something of value if you're responding...not just, "no way I'd buy a CVT", etc..
1) I'm aware of the 1.5 fuel dilution debacle on some previous years of the 1.5 CRV, and I understand that some dilution is inherent to di turbo regardless. However, has anyone heard of serious dilution problems SPECIFICALLY IN THE 1.5T ACCORD? (2018-present)
2) Is anyone aware of CVT issues SPECIFICALLY IN THE 1.5T ACCORD?
**I find lots of complaints RE Honda fuel dilution and CVT issues, but I don't see much on the 10th gen Accord...which I assumed would suffer the same?
**I could possibly consider the 2.0T which comes with a more "traditional" non-CVT if that engine/tranny is known to be more reliable, but REALLY do not want to take the mpg hit if I can avoid it (long commutes).
**I'll add that we reside in IL, so some cold starts in the winter, but the car is never short-tripped...always driven 12 miles minimum, usually more.
Thanks-
