Ok - dinosaur petrolhead needs some advice!

My sister-in-law is looking at buying a 2020 Toyota C-hr (moving from a manual 123d).

I know nothing about them, or the particular one in the frame, apart from the fact that it has CVT.

My last experience of CVT was that (a) it was definitely an “acquired taste”and (b) they were somewhat unreliable.

Not sure whether this iteration has pre-set ratios, or it is the real continuously variable type.

Any and all advice gratefully received!

This should be in the Toyota section rather than Honda but….very reliable. 10 year/100k warranty if serviced annually. 2.0 pulls a fair bit better than the 1.8 but is rarer.

You are absolutely correct - my bad!

With the number of C-HRs used by taxi/ Uber drivers, I would believe they are VERY reliable.
