CVTs are our least favorite type of transmission, mainly because their only nod to driver involvement is engine drone under heavy throttle. In spite of the lost love, CVTs are making inroads against manuals and conventional automatics. Toyota, for example, has introduced a new belt-and-pulley transmission as standÂ­ard equipment on three-quarters of its 2014 Corolla range. Slow-laners adore the CVTâs lack of drama. Stick it in D, tap the gas, and trust the flux capacitor under the hood to do whatâs right.
