Is it true what they say about CVT transmissions?

They say that CVT is noisy, unreliable, expensive to fix and just plain weird like slipping feeling and no shift points.

I'm thinking about buying a Honda CR-V or Nissan Murano both equipped with CVT but probably wouldn't if above are true.

Rpm up and down with vibartion in the cabin

Why does my car rpm go up and down when I turn my steering wheel? Also I feel a kind of vibration when turning the steering wheel left or right.
Same things happen when the car is in idle and my a/c is on. Everytime the a/c will cut of and start again I feel the vibration.
recently I serviced the power steering pump and changed the belt and the belt tensioner.A month back I changed the engine mounting as well.
Please help me with this strange issue as its really annoying me when my car is in idle mode.
Same vibration when the a/c is off and I turn my steering wheel.

Which cars Could outrun the Altima on a freeway?

The Altima is in great condition as it only has 132,000 miles, very quiet, shifts smoothly and drives well on the roads.
its an automatic.
Anyways my question is if a driver in a 1998 Nissan Altima got into a high speed chase in one of these vehicles on the freeway, which vehicles would the Altima be able to outrun? I USED to own this vehicle and from my experience,
I can drive at 95-100 mph@3250 rpms(DEPENDING ON CONDTIONS) WITH EASE! The reason i'm asking this is because I want to know how powerful this little car is for a 4 cylinder.
