Only CVT I've ever driven that I liked was on my Polaris Scrambler 400 ATV, and the only reason I liked it was because it had a handlebar switch that allowed the Scrambler to go as fast in reverse as it did moving forward.

The biggest problem with it was no engine braking. Not a good thing on a long technical downhill trail.
