    CVT eka godak ma smooth. gear shift feeling ekak enne ne. (infinite number of gears) driving pleasure eka nam madi. manual car ekak tharan ma fuel karanawa. CVT oil tikak ganan wedyi. oil replacement wage ewa thithata karanna one. reliability eka normal auto ewata wada tikak adui.

    CVT - no gear shifting effect. scooter ekak padinawa wage. fuel economy eka wadi, gear box eka compact & light weight. special oil ekak use karanna ona & maintenance karanna ona (oil change at time) repair karanna ba ekko amarui.

    regular Auto - CVT wala anith paththa.

    CVT :

    No shift-shock (You won't feel the car shifting gears, rides like a scooty)
    More fuel-efficient
    Very sensitive to abuse - you should maintain it with utmost care. Only the manufacturer-specified CVT oil should be used and transmission oil should be replaced in a timely manner.
    Won't last as long as a regular auto which is maintained with similar care would.
    Some Toyota CVTs had to be replaced at 100k-150k mark even though they were maintained properly (Source - Nilwala)

    Conventional auto

    Not as much comfortable as CVT - You can feel the car changing gears
    Not as much as fuel efficient as CVT
    Durable - most Japanese autoboxes would surpass 300k km mark without major repairs as long as you replace transmission oil every 40k km
    You can use any transmission oil which meets manufacturer's specifications
    Can be repaired locally unlike CVTs
