While a CVTs are known for their preference for economy over performance/feedback, this CVT is particularly poor at slow speeds. While slowly idling press the accelerator and feel the nice 'clunk' as the transmission belt flops into gear. Remove your foot while under 5mph and feel the same 'clunk'. Honda recall software updated only made it worse, which was supposed to fix a high speed acceleration problem.
