Re: Best engine with auto transmission for towing
The CVT is a 'smart transmission, it will select the best ratio based on the load it is seeing. Using the manual mode will hurt your fuel economy, using auto mode will not damage the trans and may help the fuel consumption.

Re:
The standard auto tranny will also select a gear based on revs and load, but will still go into top gear regardless of what its towing.

What are the "problems" you mentioned with teh CVT transmission?
Shane,
The CVT issues are being discussed in THIS thread, but as per our observation it only seems to imapct on the Series 1 and 2 (2007-2009) models, as we have had no reports of faulty CVT transmissions in the Series 3 and 4 from 2010 onwards.
