When my Mom got her car with the CVT transmission, she kept speeding up and slowing down trying to make the car shift gears.
It was like riding in a mail truck.
Mom, this car doesnt have gears. It has a....well....its magic, but it doesnt have any gears.
The CVT in my car (Subaru) works great, but I just drove a relatively new Nissan this weekend that I am sure had one, and I thought it was a real dog.
Huh ... I got one about a year ago (Corolla); it works great. Smooth power from stop to highway speed.
