Scotty has done several videos about it. Try searching his channel

Don't buy a car that has it.

Even if you watch Scotty's videos you'll see that he doesn't completely disagree with all CVT transmissions. CVT is becoming more prevalent these days and I don't see anything wrong with a reliable CVT like for example the one on the Corolla. Regular automatic is best, but this doesn't mean a good CVT is not reliable.

They need more maintenance compared to regular automatic transmission. If you get one from a Toyota or Honda, it can last quote some time if you take care of it.
