CVT LIFESPAN?

Let me introduce myself. I'm Troy Heagy, and I drive a Honda Insight that gets 70mpg (actually, I have 84 life average). Reason I'm here:

I was looking at a Civic HX with Continuously Variable Transmission, and I'm wondering how the CVT holds up over the long haul? My father advised me to stay away from the belt/pulley CVT because "they are nothing but trouble." Frankly, I don't believe that, so I decided to do some research.

For those who have had their CVT Hondas (any model) for 100,000+ miles... how did the CVT hold up?



Troy :-)

P.S. What other models of Honda have had CVT?
