I don't know why reviewers and other so-called car enthusiasts dislike it when their car seeks optimal gearing for the task at hand.

I've driven a couple CVT cars (Nissans only so far) and found the experience thoroughly unpleasant. The engine seems to have little interest in doing what I want it to do. I found it particularly disconcerting when going down a modest slope and having the engine rev wildly for no apparent reason.
Note that I do not consider your Prius to have a CVT.
