I haven't used Ds in a few days. I think Wednesday was the last time I used it in heavy traffic but downshift is fun in this vehicle lol.

I only use it for going down hills to slow down.

Same. Going from PA to NYC and vice versa, there are a lot of hills. It made it a much smoother process. Very sporty.

I'm skeered to drive a CVT. Now that I'm used to the 78 hp, I'm skeered that I'd like a CVT too much and would prefer to have it. I probably accelerate slower than anyone on the forum, with my 5-speed. So with the CVT, I could just pooooosh the throttle pedal just a little, get to an rpm I like, hold it there, while accelerating quicker than what I do in the 5-speed. And not have the soccer moms wearing baseball caps giving me a Q80 enema when I change to 2nd & 3rd gear.
So ... y'all just shut-up now about your dagum CVTs, I don't wanna hear it!

I think its mostly useless for normal driving besides using it for engine breaking. I do find it better for autocross, keeps it in the power band nicely. Low would be better but it keeps the torque converter unlocked at all times.
