That's pretty dumb as well. My Subaru with a CVT allows the driver to select from preset gear ratios, but unless you actively engage the paddles there are no artificial shift points as it should. The only time I can see value in the fake is when you are going downhill and want to control your speed without burning your brakes.
- ogre_codes 7y agoClarification: I meant the idea of fake shift points in a CVT was dumb, didn't mean to suggest your comment was dumb.
- powowow 7y agoFor what it's worth, her car is a 2016 Subaru. The fake shifts are very subtle when driving gently, and noticeable if you hit the gas hard. I'm curious if Subaru changed their shift programming at some point, or if it's subtle enough that it escaped your notice.
