This article is 12 years old, but it gets the point across: https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/20...transmissions/

Also keep in mind it's a 2.0 non turbo engine powering a fairly large AWD vehicle. It's never going to be fast. Not sure what that bloke from Australia was talking about with the gas or the air filter though. K&N is a good product and I can't see how it would introduce more dust into the engine. You might get a couple more horsepower out of the engine with that filter, and they last a lot longer than the paper filters, so the refresh kit expense is a nonissue.

But the low speed acceleration hasn’t. In fact it has started a cvt shutter between 10 and 35 mph. I put a post on here with more detail.
So now I have 3500 miles on it. And I hope it learns my driving style soon. This cvt shutter makes you wonder if it’s going to crap out sometimes. Hopefully after another 3500 miles it will improve. We will see.
