Audi recently received an award for theirs (called multitronic). It chooses the most efficient torque - speed combination and are therefore the most advanced/fuel-efficient transmissions in the world. Many people, unfortunately, are not 'ready' for 'gearless', so some companies decided to fake 'gears' on a CVT! (like the Nissan Murano).<br><br>I used to drive a Honda H-RV (smaller version of the C-RV), and it was amazing. On winding mountain roads you sometimes wish you had a 1.5 or 2.5 gear, well, a CVT solves that problem instantly. If you can live without your conservative 'gear-wish', these transmissions are the best (they were even tested by Renault in Le Mans). Most EV or Hybrids feature a CVT gearbox.
