Default Re: Are CVTs really that bad?

Our small hire car in NZ was CVT equipped.

I called it the death machine.

Putting the foot down to merge or overtake the plethora of camper vans in the South Island was a hair greying experience. Lots of raucous noise and the acceleration rate of a snail.

Yes, perfectly acceptable for puttering around. But that's about it.
