I go from 0mph to 55mph with the camera pointed at the revs and speedo so you can see how it drives compared to a regular auto box. It goes all the way to 55 without once going over 2000rpm. I would have gone higher but I ran out of road! Clip is here

In this clip, I go from 0 to 60 before again running out of road, but this time I floor it. I keep my foot hard down. The car keeps the revs low to start with but then revs higher until they top out around 5500rpm. They will then stay there as the speed keeps on increasing.

Both times I was in D mode, which keeps the revs lower than S, and both times were on flat (but bumpy ground).

 

so the UK gets a cvt for an auto?

 

yes. and i-dsi engine instead of vtec

 

I had a CVT in my 97 Civic HX. Not a bad little car. 115 HP and 38 MPG. Why did I sell it? The infamous 99 Civic Si...

 

so smooth... but so slow

probably more reliable though
