CVT (CVT)
* Pros:
* Smooth and continuously variable gear shifting
* Better fuel efficiency compared to automatic transmission
* Can be more dynamic than automatic transmission
* Often has a sport mode for faster shifts
* Cons:
* May have less reliability than automatic transmission
*Cannot tow heavy loads (select models)
