CVTs are getting better but I prefer a DCT or a regular slushbox to it.
Sums it up in a nutshell to me. Personally I don't really have anything against them (in fact just filled up a 13 GS450h at the gas station the other day, was headed back to the dealer when a Hemi Charger pulled up and scoffed at the hybrid badge. Dusted him ), but I just really like hearing engine/exhaust note changes from gear changes lol
