Ok - dinosaur petrolhead needs some advice!

My sister-in-law is looking at buying a 2020 Toyota C-hr (moving from a manual BMW 123d).

I know nothing about them, or the particular one in the frame, apart from the fact that it has CVT.

My last experience of CVT was that (a) it was definitely an “acquired taste”and (b) they were somewhat unreliable.

Not sure whether this iteration has pre-set ratios, or it is the real continuously variable type.

Any and all advice gratefully received!

Hugely reliable, apparently 2.0 a lot better than 1.8

I went in a couple as Ubers in Singapore and was impressed, wanted one.

Then we got lent one on an extended basis and in our part of the country which is limited traffic, dual carriageways and lots of hills the cvt drone did my head in.
The CVT comment is what I was concerned about, as she (my S-in-Law) will have plenty of long journeys to do.
