Have CVT in my Honda Jazz. Love it. Revs lower than my wifes Toyota for the equivalent speed. 6 years and not a beat wrong.

Take it for a drive and see for yourself.

For my car, off the mark acceleration is slower than a normal auto ie 0-20km/h, after that it is faster than a normal auto (for similar sized car). 40km/h+ acceleration is where it excels. Put your foot down the car revs to the crossover point between peak torque and power, then the gearbox winds you out in steady stream of acceleration.
