Sir looks like you took offense on my supernatural statement
I agree brv is a spacious vehicle specially in length. It is a people carrier MPV to take you from point A to B. Good ground clearance. No shashkas and modern features but gets the job done.
I’m not sure how cvt BRV will perform in mountains but seems like a ton of people take it there. All the CVT issues you’re mentioning like overheating or becoming free, I can’t say if it is a Honda CVT quality issue or something else.
Toyota transmission far more reliable it seems.
