Oh yes .. i DO like my CVT in the coupe but really glad i found one attached to a 1.4 CVH and not the mr tappy crossflow that most are . CVT takes a bit of getting used to but i have to agree with an article that i read some time ago ,the best thing was to think of the throttle as you would in a boat, open the throttle and watch the speed rise then when you get to the desired speed(or get on the plane in a boat)then back off too just enough to keep it there... :-)
