Hi guys I just got my honda city a month ago.
It is the faceifted version so it has paddle shifters.
When I read online, people say if its in gear D, you can just paddleshift to a lower gear to overtake for a short moment before it goes back to normal D. If it's in gear S then it will stay in manual mode when you paddle shift until you switch gear. Is that correct?
So just now when I try to paddle downshift at a speed of 50-60kmph, the gear shows its at D1!! Shouldnt it be at gear 3 maybe? Gear 1 at 60kmph sounds scary to me but thats what CVT chose for me lah when I downshift. However, the car indeed gained a lot of power. Is this gonna cause any damage to the car or is it okay?
Another thing is are we supposed to lift the foot from the accelerator when we paddle shift? Or is it okay to to foot the pedal and downshift?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Paddle shift not really used for daily driving except when you need to do an overtaking maneuver, hill climb or some spirited driving on twisty roads.It is the faceifted version so it has paddle shifters.

Basically the time where you need the car engine to maintain a certain RPM range.
When you downshift it depends on what gear the car was in as selected by the PCM for that current driving condition. So if you just accelerated to 50-60km/h and in D2, of course when you downshift it will go to D1. If you already cruising at 50-60km/h in D4 then when you downshift you get D3. You get the idea.
No right or wrong answers to lift or not to lift. It depends on the driving situation and how often you're using it.
Honda City is not a sports car ok.
