That's a kinda controversial matter. CVTs are praised for their flexibility regarding a match between the engine RPM and the "gear" ratio under load and terrain conditions, but their durability is sometimes objected. On a sidenote, Mercedes-Benz have replaced the CVT of the 1st-gen B-Class with a 7-speed dual-clutch AMT for the 2nd-gen.
