[F0NIX]

Now I have had the car for a week and are absolutly thrilled about the little but big car. It is actually not as "sluggish" as I first thougt. When you set the transmission in Sport mode you get all the horspower the little car has right at your disposal. But D mode is for comfort and economical driving.

I read somewhere here at this forum about using the engine to brake in downhill. Have tested it and it works great. (Think it was in the manual too somewhere).
What you do is that you push the 7-speed mode button and then touch one of the gear change paddles on the steeringwheel. Now the transmission is in manual mode and you can use a lower gear to use the engine for braking.
That saves the brakes a lot I can imagine.
And just another push on the 7-speed mode and youre back in full auto mode again. Simple and quick.

I just love the CVT system and get impressed about it each time I drive the car
