I just test drive the car in Seremban 3S centre and find the CVT to be somehow jerky - not sure what's the issue. The test drive car only clocks 70km of driving only. I also find the power somewhat lacking - although that's expected for a car with good FC and at this size. I thought Mirage should be better, especially on the CVT.

It feels like those auto transmission where there's a distinct change of gear, and induces a very slight "pull-back" feeling. I don't seem to be able to duplicate it as I want though, but it happens like 2-3 times in my short drive (like 3-5 minutes), admittedly the driving pattern is quite abnormal and aggressive for test driving purposes.

I have had short spells on my brother's City that's equipped with CVT - very smooth, only slightly annoying at low-rev as it tries to regulate the gear ratio I guess.
Well I think I couldn't compare City to Mirage, but I suppose Mitubishi wouldn't be too far off from Honda.
