Continuously Variable Transmission: I would say it revolves around what you like best and what vehicle the CVT is in. A lot of people don't like CVT's but I personally dont have a problem with them. There are only minor differences noticeable when driving; but, on the mechanical side, it's a handful if you don't know what you're doing.

Continuously-Variable Transmission was a system used by the Dutch truck-maker DAF, who made a small and poorly-selling car in the 1970's - the car was slow, and quite dull to drive. It's apparently and odd thing to experience, as the engine revs to a certain speed, and then the transmission varies itself to bring you up to speed - it relies on two large rubber belts, it's said to run smoothly, but WHY have something SO odd and out of the mainstream? People 'stayed-away in droves' from the dealerships. About twenty years back, Ford had a go with putting a similar transmission into the Fiesta. Zero consumer interest meant it died a death.

There's this thing... called google. You can use this amazing google to research the definition and operation of a Constantly Variable Transmission all by yourself!
