It wasn’t the top end speed, it was the responsiveness at slow speeds that was awful. It was completely sluggish (to me)

I guess if it did have overdrive the CVT might be geared differently, giving better performance at low speeds because it doesn’t have to make that engineering sacrifice for the top end speed?

I’m sorry.

I was joshing with you.

I believe a CVT uses chains or belts.

When I was a kid, my friends and I thought that overdrive was some kind of magic that made a car go really fast.

To the best of my limited automotive knowledge, a CVT doesn’t have an overdrive.

I keep forgetting that not everybody is as weird as me.
