The Mitsubishi and Nissan ones are still pretty awful.
I agree... My wife has a Mitsubishi ASX, and the CVT is noisy.
Its a weird sensation, as it feels like its always in one gear, and acceleration is poor. It feels like it is always in a gear lower than what it should be.

But then again after you've driven a Falcon with the fantastic ZF auto, every other auto trans feels sub par.
