Can you imagine putting my car on jack stands, then putting it in gear and crawling under it in my garage? Neither can I.

Ramps?
I'm guessing you missed the part about putting it in gear.

I think it depends on the automaker. Ford is known for pretty crappy CVT's. Lexus/Toyota seem to put out very nice and reliable ones. I don't know about the others. I like my 6 speed manual in my VW, but I know lots of people who don't like it, including my wife. If you don't spend a lot of time stuck in traffic, I think the manual is a great transmission and will last. Also, turns out lots of car thieves these day can't even drive a stick. Hah!
