Tbh I will always protest that CVT's are vastly superior to traditional auto's. I can accelerate with a light foot at 1700rpm in my civic, at a constant rate, all the way up to 65 when the ratio runs out, and cruise at 1900rpm at 70. Or, I can stomp on it and accelerate at 5500rpm all the way to 70, or mild throttle and accelerate at 2000rpm. They gotta be lighter than a 7-9 speed transmission autos, and are more efficient if memory serves me right.
