Well, it's a 2.4 V6 petrol so not exactly powerful for a big heavy car (A6). My friend - let's call him Dave - isn't expecting great things performance wise. But to me, correction, Dave, the initials CVT bring one word to mind - DAF. They must have got better since..

I work in the Auto transmission industry and I wouldn't touch a 01J or and 0AW Audi CVT for love nor money, dreadful things.
Modern multi geared automatics with lock up clutches are generally more efficient than manuals.Are CVTs generally shyte or is this the exception?
We had an 8 year old Honda Jazz CVT from new which didn't put a foot wrong.
Our Nissan Juke CVT died at 22K and 2.5 years old.
My opinion of CVT is not great but Lexus seem to manage to produce a decent CVT (as did Honda in our experience).
Also, what would you say is the best type of auto transmission?
My own feeling is a modern regular slushy despite the economy implications.
No chains or belts in a Lexus E-CVT transmission, just constantly meshed gears. Nothing really to go wrong, apart from the electronics controlling it all....My opinion of CVT is not great but Lexus seem to manage to produce a decent CVT (as did Honda in our experience).
I had the exact model A6 2.4 Avant with CVT and it was my first and my last Audi because of CVT and other issues. CVT was jerking, couldn’t make up it’s mind when to downshift and when to upshift, I had to drive it in manual mode most of the time.Well, it's a 2.4 V6 petrol so not exactly powerful for a big heavy car (A6).
