My Honda Jazz CVT is a joy to drive round (insofar as town driving can ever be a joy) and it's in the 15% band for company car tax too - the CO2 figures for the manual and auto are more or less the same.
Right. I wondered if the friction of a rubber band type made it worse?
It does, that's why CVTs haven't used rubber in years. They're steel spring links these days.
I remember when Fiat introduced their original CVT box, in one road test (Top Gear IIRC) the driver had to reverse the car up a hill as the box refused to even try moving the car in a forward gear !...
