I really enjoyed my Mk1 CVT. My Mk2 CVT was a different story. For me the problem was the CVT gearbox. It is designed to keep the revs low for economy, but the engine has little torque at low rpm and I found it struggled up the many hills near where I live. Drive it with the RPM above 4K it is a different car, however it is impractical to drive around town or in traffic with the engine revving at 4 or 5K, so sadly it had to go and I changed to a different manufacturer.
Even though it is several years since I owned a Honda I still enjoy looking at this forum as there are some good discussions here. I am thinking of changing my car next year so I may look at the Jazz Sport although there are some features I like that are missing from it. Currently I am favouring a Mazda CX-3.
