  5. I drove a 1999 Honda Civic HX coupe with an automatic CVT transmission for 14 years. That transmission has to be the worst ever made. I bought the car new in 1999 and about one month after the factory warranty expired, the car would shudder when I hit the gas pedal. Turns out the issue was a problem with the transmission. When I bought the car new from the Honda dealership, I also got the extended warranty which at the time I regretted. Now the extended warranty paid for the transmission repairs. A year later the same shuddering problem occurred so back to the dealership it went. This time they had to replacement the transmission and it was paid for by the extended warranty. Fast forward to late 2013 and I was at a stoplight and hit the gas pedal and the car barely crossed the intersection and then it would not move forward anymore. I had the car towed to the dealership and they told me it needed a new transmission. I did not want to spend $3,000 to repair a car that was worth $2,000. I sold the car to the Honda service advisor who was going to repair it for this teenage daughter. The last I seen this car it was on its 3rd CVT transmission. It was a nice little car with excellent gas mileage but lousy transmission.
