That's an interesting statement. Do you mean it's a different type of auto or another type of trans altogether? Would someone who only knew conventional automatic transmissions have a normal or lengthy learning curve? Would someone who wanted more control than you get with an auto find it in a CVT? I've heard that the engine RPMs seem excessive re the road speed and that takes some getting used to. Has that been your experience?
