CVT, Sport mode or D mode Faster?
dont know why i feel D mode is faster than sport mode....
Also, when i drove 140KM+ (85mph+) the 6th gear is like no power to push up the sped , i must stay at 5th gear to pump over to 5000RPM + to do it

thats because the car is faster in D mode.. the CVT has an infinite number of ratios to choose from in D. i don't think this car needed 6 gears i rarely use the 6th gear.

So in theory you have two factors that may work against your performance driving.
1. (ENGINE) If you do not get into the Second MIVEC level your performance may suffer in terms of your expectation of HP. Remember the 1st Mivec level is a low RPM high TQ profile.
Please review the following document, it may give you a great sense of how this MIVEC is different then previous generations before the 4B11 and 12 series

2. (Transmission) While in D mode you constantly have a Computer working against your desire for Max performance and forcing a more fuel efficent method to comprimise between your hunger for power, and your forgotten goal of fuel economy. So this transmission will work to keep you in MIVEC level 1
I hope that doesnt confuse everyone?
