Car makers program CVTs to act like automatics, almost completely eliminating the benefit of a CVT. I’ve got a Subaru with a CVT and I’ve become used to it; I’ll never love it. Mine is the H6 engine paired to the heavy duty CVT. It’s a good thing it will last a long time, as it’s going to be my last Subaru (I’ve driven both the NA and turbo 4 with the CVT and would never buy one).
