Toyota Multidrive CVT - is it any good?

How good and reliable is the Toyota Multidrive CVT on the 1.3 2013 Yaris?

No complaints yet. Vastly better then the automated manual they fitted from 2006-2012. Toyota is heavily into CVT in everything from the IQ to the RAV-4.

Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
