I have been searching through the previous posts, and can see that the redline is 5.5K but the 'real' redline is indeed 6K

Has anyone taken delivery in the last couple of weeks of a CVT ?

Id like to know whether the car is run in, and what your rev limiter is showing.

Im wondering if the new car's will show a 5.5K redline until it has been run in (mileage wise), and then revert to 6K. (effectively just removing the visible 500rpm cushion).

Be interesting to hear, as the only inconsistency so far appears to be your car from what I can find on here.
