Oh I hate CVT. I've got a Land Rover Discovery 3 with a non-CVT auto and it's as smooth as anything changing gear, you just don't notice.

Looking at getting an auto for our second smaller car, and CVT is like someone has an elastic band on the gears. Would drive me up the wall. The Citroen box at least comes with paddles which helps.

The VW/Audi dual clutch box is the best, you get the economy of CVT and it's so much smoother. Shame they are so much more expensive second hand than CVT autos :(

More expensive and a lot more unreliable too. I know of several people who have large repair bills for DSG boxes.
