Manual vs Auto vs DCT vs CVT

Well here they all are to compare.
Not apples to apples exactly but a good view of how these all look and the characteristics side by side. Seems the CVT here is really in a slow car. My last 2 snowmobiles and my current 1000 RZR will eat this car
Anybody ever have or drive a DCT or CVT in a car?
What cars were these with the Auto, DCT and CVT. Anyone recognize them?
Think we will all know the Manual. Man it rocks. The DCT really pulls up the speed quick though. I would have to say far
smoother and likely slightly quicker too.

What do you cats think?

I actually found a bit of an explanation and what not to do on all these transmissions from John the Aussie automotive engineer.
This dude just tells it like it is. Gotta love John.
What I did find interesting in the “how to wreck it” part on the manual, was dropping the clutch was of no concern to him. Yay.

Hey Derek, I have a CVT in my 16 Honda HRV and she is a real tire fryer! They are not a fast transmission option to the best of my knowledge, but more of a fuel economy option. I think she will do low 20's in the 1/4. Definitely a very smooth transmission however.

I did a Google search and she will do 16.8 @ 85mph for the EXLNavi version in the quarter. Not bad for 141 hp CVT. Hehehe.

Excellent video. Glad our Vettes do not have Power sh&t transmissions
