I own a Ractis, and the CVT gear is real fun to drive.

The Ractis employs two modes. Fully automatic and manual with 7 gear levels. The manual mode has a feature that protects you from driving in a high gear at very slow speed; it drops down automatically.

I do not notice any strange noise on acceleration. I can though give it a rush by accelerating using the manual mode.

Metal chain CVT transmissions have been around for 25 years - hardly immature technology.
