Should you buy a car with a CVT?

There are a few advantages to getting a vehicle with a CVT: It’s good on gas, gives a relatively smooth ride, and is versatile enough for daily driving . It also has a few drawbacks. It’s nowhere near as fun or engaging as a dual clutch automatic or manual transmission. It can also make quite a racket when accelerating hard.

Is CVT the car transmission of the future?

While both parties’ arguments have their merits, the CVT is, without a doubt, here to stay – and may turn out to be the transmission of choice in the future. To understand why the CVT is hated as much as it’s loved, it helps to know how it works. The most common setup used in cars today is a belt-and-pulley system – specifically, a belt running around two pulleys. The pulleys expand and contract, to allow the belt to move towards and away from their centers.
