Does anyone else feel a notchiness or hesitation in the engine/transmission on your CVT Mirage? This is especially evident in our new Mirage when we start slowing down, or when we start to accelerate from a full stop. Is this normal?

Yes.. there is a hesitation/lag as the trans shifts from low range in the aux trans.. for a brief moment it almost feels like the car is slowing down. I think this is because when aux trans switches range the cvt must backshift allowing the "belt" to travel back down the taper. All this takes a moment to happen.
Will weld for beer.

From a full stop, you may also be feeling the re-engagement from neutral into drive (the CVT shifts to N when stopped to save fuel when conditions are right).

Noticed that in all 3 Mirage with C.V.T. Usually before stopping for a red light . Can cause a bit concern during first test drive . Seen where Mitsubishi is #10 on dependable vehicle list that car dealers use .
Is the idle neutral logic a point of concern for dependability?
I have returned mine to the dealer twice as I am unhappy with the jerky and hesitant acceleration. This seems to happen after stopping or slowing then applying moderate acceleration.
I really don't think it is transmission based as I can normally feel when it changes up.
Unfortunately I think this is a fault as I have driven three other cvts and they have all done it to varying degrees.
It really makes smooth driving difficult.
The other day just as an experiment. I put transmission in b while on the motorway this seems to maintain the revs somewhere around 4000 at a constant 90 km. And experienced the same sort of coughing hiccuping some of hesitation that I some times get on take off.
