the CVT and throttle by wire accelerator provide a different driving situation than most other cars. When I first started driving my CVT, the drive was jerky as hell, but now that I have gotten used to its mannerisms, I can drive pretty smooth. I am very easy on and off the gas a slow speeds, when I accelerate, I just put my foot down and let the tranny do its work, of if using the steptronic mode, I will shift 500-750 rpms before the point of where I would want to shift. Just keep on playin with it!!!

This may be true for some of the issues mentioned here, mine normally drives very smoothly as well. Sometimes however traffic dictates 10 mph and mine will surge no matter how gently I increase or reduce my speed to that level.
