FCA's CVT is made by Jatco (Japanese) vs Audi is by Luk.. so it is not the same.

Audi is also phasing out CVT.. so might want to be aware of that if you do decide to keep the car for a while.

Only thing with a CVT is that it feels really different than a regular automatic, and yeah, you might want to let her test drive it first to make sure it's not gonna be too weird for her, or you'll never hear the end of it.
