CVT Transmission vs. Automatic || Which Is Better?

In general, there are three different types of transmissions. Even if you don't know much about how a transmission works, you have probably heard of the manual and the automatic. The CVT is the newest type of transmission. It is sometimes referred to as the shiftless transmission and is a type of automatic.

A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) does not make use of gears like a basic automatic transmission. Rather, it uses 2 pulleys linked by a belt. It's a bit like a snowmobile transmission: One pulley connects to the engine, the other one links to the transmission. The belt transfers the power between them.

Now you know the difference between a CVT transmission and an automatic transmission. Which one works for you?
