well here is my take on the CVT. feb/march build 2004

1. dead stop off the line, there is a definite lag......hence, i have been doing a lot of rolling starts. stopping short at the lights, and just releasing the brake on the start. it works for the most part. I would however like to see some sort of improvement here.

2. on twisties, it makes the S look like an overpriced, spoiled, child.....especially in S mode. I can say this now, having done the agressive test drive of the S recently.

3. the lag between shifts in S mode is a little annoying when you are trying to accelerate quickly.

.......hey you kids, get off the road..............
