I'm not concerned about their longevity, I just prefer a good automatic. I cannot believe anyone with a modicum of intelligence would choose a CVT over a ZF 8HP- but if any such nitwits exist, they are probably here on BITOG.
Sounds like you need to drive something that does well with a CVT. I was given a 2017 Corolla as loaner while my wife's Sienna was in the shop for a recall. It had a CVT and it was a pleasure to drive. The CVT kept the RPMs right at the perfect speed for the situation...and when I stepped on it while I was on the highway, it responded like no automatic ever has...it instantly put the RPMs right in the meat of the power band...it actually made the Corolla feel fast. I would take a CVT in a heartbeat....
