Automatic transmissions were not a problem at all... right up until they started making 8, 9, and 10 speed units. Even though the engineering is ok on those, they never seem to work right because a computer can't anticipate a driver's every move. With a 3 or 4 speed, it really didn't matter because they didn't have to shift every second.
CVTs are just misunderstood. Like any new tech. That, and getting parts can be impossible. So yeah, I wouldn't advise getting a CVT, just because parts are scarce and/or expensive!
Gas direct injection would be perfect if they could just vent the crankcase to the atmosphere instead of letting all that oil into the intake to get burnt onto the valves. Pity.
