i tried driving my latio sedan in "sports" mode (by activating the small little button on the gear stick) yesterday but the gear ratio seems like fixed and will not change even when i drive up to higher speeds (rpm goes very high). in my toyota's "overdrive" mode, the gear seems to change (but at higher rpms) when higher speeds are achieved.

is that normal for a latio or something is wrong with mine?

TIA

When I drive at 70km/hr and press sport button, RPM ll rise from below 2k to nearly 3k

I think sometime wrong with your sport mode or u r driving too slow

wytan:
Think of the normal mode as fuel economy focused; basically the CVT tries to keep the RPMs as low as possible if you aren't really pushing hard on the pedal. Whereas for sports mode, the gear ratios are still changing continuously, just that the CVT box does it much later and much gradually so as to keep the RPMs high and provide better response.
