Idaho National Laboratory conducted a reliability test on four 2003 HCH. Two cars racked up about 25,000 miles and the other two about 160,000. Two of the cars had CVT failure around 96,000 and 99,000 marks and out of those two, one had another CVT failure at 157.000 miles. Price of repairs was around $2,500 a pop and both cars need new catalytic converters at $1,100 a pop which let go around 100,000 miles.
All information about the test and results can be found here.
