5 spd PWNS cvt anyday of the week!
cvt = most boring trans ever!
ya i found the whole 7 "gears" thing a bit wierd, they put in the jumping feeling just so people would know it was changing on them lol. i find that funny.
For people who are not mechanically minded, yes it is boring. It's the best transmission I've come across.Quote:

I don't think they would engineer the CVT to be jerky on manual changes. Isn't the aim of any automotive manufacturer to make the changes as smooth as possible??Quote:

i was told they put it in as people were creeped out by the smoothness
Umm yes, I do know how a CVT works.Quote:
