I have read from more than one source that the CVT's reliability can be improved with conscientious maintenance - mostly fluid changes if I recall. It looked to me like maintenance pretty far above and beyond what the owner's manual called for, which is asking a lot from the hoi polloi but within the reach of the ecomodder community, I think - and a guy banging on the 50mpg door with an auto Escort probably wouldn't bat an eye.
