I am not sure if this is because CVT is downshifting when you're accelerating? Either way, I have driven a few mirages (courtesy cars) and they don't seem to have this jerk as pronounced as mine. Is this normal? Car has about 50K kms on it, I have been feeling it since last 20k or so.
Yes, but with 50K Km's wouldn't hurt to have the fluid changed in it. Have you checked the fluid level lately to make sure it's not low? The owner's manual describes the details how to check your level. Fluid level is critical on these CVT's. Too low or too much is not good.
