I've had my 2005 cvt unit for almost 2 years now. Got it at 80k miles, now up to 94k. It shuddered and struggled off the line when I first bought it, on a gamble. 2 cvt fluid changes, and a egr valve rebuild later, she purrs like a kitten, pulls like a train, and returns between 46 and 52mpg (uk gallons) regularly. I do a mix of town and motorway driving, and mostly do 70 on roads I'm allowed to. Long may she run like this. I keep thinking that I should buy a newer one; then I think, why? I have a sunroof which I rarely close, and is sadly unavailable now.
