Not a car, but my Yamaha C3 (49cc Scooter) supposedly has a CVT and it seems to be alright. (I think it's more the "rubber band" type) The acceleration is alright, not as good as 2 stroke engines, but the mileage is really awesome - about 95mpg on average, though supposedly I'm supposed to get 115 if I drive 25mph. (Not going to happen) Realized the tires were underinflated recently though, so I might get a bit better mileage. Anyway, at least in a scooter application a CVT seems to be pretty good.
