Modern cars are shit because CVT transmissions (which are better for emissions standards) mean cars feel sluggish and unresponsive.

Electric cars are WAY more fun to drive.

CVTs are not very common, although they have certainly become more popular lately. Regular automatic transmissions feel very sluggish compared to manuals.

The best selling new SUVs in the country - the Toyota Rav4 and Honda CRV - have CVTs, so your assertion they're "not very common" isn't true.
