Maybe its due to perception, could it be you feel like that cause when on the CVT, the engine revs are constant where a 4AT would be rising and that would translate to the perception that its going faster? When I'm driving on beach rd and taking the ECP, there's a steep hill to get on the ECP and with the CVT its really able to reach the top faster although it sounds like the car is dragging but the Speedo is rising as i'm driving up . Not trying to argue bro, just wanted to share my tots as I too initially tot my car is dragging along but then realised... hey... I'm passing alot of cars... ;D

Hi bro,
no worries, i'm not the least bit offended. but Cvt really does feel this way. I do go that same road often, as my office is in golden mile complex, however, i've never driven 4at on that slope so I really can't compare.

Have faith in our CVT. It's the future mode of transmission...

Anyway, think CVT will be good if the power of the engine is high and thus it will pick up faster.
I still prefer the feel of the 4AT than the CVT - my preference.

Depending on the construction of the CVT. Newer generation of CVT are using steel belt and more advance technique/technology to make it more robust.

iagree:
This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTX_iYW5x10 is powerful.
I just got my Latio Premium CVT ride last Saturday.
When I press on the accelerator, I can feel the "power" to accelerate...
I am not sure abt 4AT coz i don't have a 4AT to compare...
I am still unsure how to handle my ride yet...
It's easy to hit 2500rmp when i start to drive the car. After that I try to maintain the rpm at 2k and 80km/h.
