I see many auto maker especially Toyota switching to a CVT that some car reviewers ( Edmunds etc) seem to hate. That could be that old school transmissions are more attractive to car enthusiasts whereas the CVT is just fine for the typical commuter.
What is the difference between these two, reason. For the switch and should CVT be avoided?

CVT has a different ‘feel’, which people used to climbing through the gears find disturbing. Also early attempts at CVTs were prone to premature failure, although I assume that’s been fixed by now.
