Nice to see others find the cvt refined and smooth. Test drove both turbo and non turbo and found both to work well with the transmission, especially I was surprised how little the non turbo motor laboured going slowly up a steep hill. The engine never seemed to be of sync with the transmission always finding the perfect combination of engine revs and gear ratio. The engine might not be as smooth as an inline 6 but has to be the smoothest 4 cylinder around.
