You can never hear or feel it changing gear like in 7-step mode or in traditional atomatic 5-step transmission systems.

In the US Fit with 5-step AT do you have the S and L mode too? Or just the S mode? I know you have the paddles like I do with my CVT.
CVT doesn't engage or disengage. it can change gears while staying engaged.

US fit sport has only S (paddles). To do race mode, you just press the pedal hard, and it'll upshift later. The Fit non-sport does NOT have S mode, but it does have L mode, but it's calld 1, 2, 3, (i think) instead of plain "L"
