Meaning it is not useful to me as a vehicle at all...and I just plain don't believe in having more than one vehicle per person in a house. Just my preference...
I meant drivers of a "boring CVT", not "boring drivers" of a CVT.
CVT's are boring and in your situation I would have looked elsewhere than settled for the CVT. Just me though...
Wanna race me in your GC??

Hot small SUVs are becoming harder to find without going way up in price in recent years...I am fine with the performance of my CVT, but worried about durability.
I was close to buying an Acura RDX (back when it was a V6), maybe I would have been happier with it than the FXT but it had the crummy AWD from the CR-V at the time and I appreciate a better system as a skier.
My RAV4 V6 was also pretty fun, but I didn't appreciate the conventional auto tranny when it was searching for right gear in some situations when I wanted it to really take off.
So, speaking of boring, why did you settle for a minivan?
