I found my cvt to be a bit slow pulling onto a roundabout, I found the trick was to change down using the paddles as you approached the roundabout so that it was in the lowest gear when setting off. Previously if you floor the accelerator it paused and changed down, not good when the local loonies are bearing down on you

Select the 'S' mode before you get to the roundabout/junction. Stay in 'S' until you exit the roundabout/junction and accelerate away.
 That's much easier than trying to find the paddles while steering/indicating.

I agree with Vic. There is one notorious roundabout I occasionally use on the M60 where you need to be quite assertive. I engage S mode for this and the performance is quite brisk as it holds on to the lower gears for longer.
