In every other (manual or automatic) car I've ever owned, I slow down by braking smoothly -- then, as the car comes to a stop, rolling off the brake to avoid bouncing the nose of the car or shaking passengers' heads. At all.
In the Mirage, no matter how I modulate the brake, there's always a slight lurch just before the car stops moving, that requires me to then brake a little more to keep it from creeping forward. So my trying to stop smoothly results in two lurches, one when the car does it, and another when I instinctively brake more when it lunges forward an inch or two. I have started just not releasing braking pressure at all which causes a small shock upon stopping which doesn't seem to be noticeable to my passengers but still annoys me (makes me feel like amateur hour).
If I shift to neutral when braking, I can pull off a flawless chauffeur stop which leads me to believe the transmission is doing something, like shifting to neutral?
Have you all noticed it? Can you stop smoothly with the CVT? Any tips aside from shifting to neutral?
