[Nax]

on show from the 15th, drive away the 29th, im sure if u did it right u could probably have one a lil before that but it would cost u.

I reckon the VTi-S will suck having a 5spd auto with the paddle shift..

At least with the CVT I have 7 'gears' to choose from. I'm never caught in the wrong gear.

lol 7 gears is rubbish, they do nothing if u dont change using the paddels it changes for you anyway!

its called grade logic that stops gear hunting in the 5spd

5 spd PWNS cvt anyday of the week!
cvt = most boring trans ever!

[Nax]

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.

This is what makes the previous CVT transmission so good! It gives me 3 different modes to choose from.

I don't want the car driving me. I want to drive it myself. Another technology invented for the noob drivers.

5spd what? You do realise there is now a 5spd auto and 5spd manual...

Anyway, at the end of the day, I'd still rather a standard manual transmission, however having a wife is full of compromises and the CVT helped alleviate my passion of driving manual.

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??

So with the paddle shift and the normal 5sp auto, will you still be able to shift up and down gears when you are in D, kind of like a semi-automatic transmission?

That's what I'll assume it will be.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how it drives once it is available for a test drive.

if u think about it, its just a strap on a pully, and the pully moves depending on the speed to change the "gear" why would their be any jerking?

i was told they put it in as people were creeped out by the smoothness

Umm yes, I do know how a CVT works.
You've got to be kidding me. So your still saying Honda has engineering jerkyness into their transmission to please their customers...please stop with the BS.

Told by the fairy god mother yeah?

[800ZR]

thinking of trading my DC2R for this new jazz... anyone know wheres a good place to start searching for Mugen kit!?

[dyljoy]

[800ZR]
