Are CVTs really that bad?!

Hello! I’m in the used car market right now looking to purchase a vehicle that will last me 100 miles a day of driving over the course of the next 3ish years!

I’ve been test driving a bunch of SUVs and the one I’ve loved the most is the 2019 Subaru forester!

Although I loved driving this car, it does have a CVT transmission. Ive heard some absolute nightmare stories about these things and I’ve heard people getting 200-300k miles out of the same tranny with regular maintenance.

So how bad are they really? Should I even be considering anything with a CVT with the amount I’ll be driving?

Thank you!
