he got a '10 with all its much better features.
still complains tho..... |
Should have got an '11
The OEM widebody would surely have fixed this problem Or maybe just looked 100x better... |

(Yes, this CVT attempts to emulate a planetary gearbox.) And I'm sure it's in the name of appeasing the average brain-dead Starbucks-swigging mallrat who makes up its core demo who would be confused to death when the engine speed stopped climbing but the vehicle was still accelerating. |

My 335i is decent, very responsive when mashing it at any point, even in drive. It's even better in DS (sport) which basically only moves the low throttle application shift point to about 2700. I actually wish it was more linear on the bottom end. It's tough to take off from a stop sign in a normal, reasonable fashion unless really paying attention.

What I don't get despite how sensitive lots of throttle pedals are, such as the Camry, is how so many drivers accelerate at 0.0001 G when the light turns green. Especially Camrys! What, they manage to move the gas only 0.001 mm??

I drove a murano with CVT, I didnt mind it. i thought it was smooth and kept the rpms around 4K through accerlating and kept it in a very nice sweet spot of tq.
i keep reading and reading and reading about tuning the DBW maps for my rex and still come away dumber than i started. |
Simple solution. Don't put a tach on the CVT cars.

oh dude, car dashboards are a big pet peave of mine. in the space they put 3 big ass digital to analoge gauges, you could display about 50 important things; that are easier to read.

case and point: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1374769659 this car displays the MPH in a quick, easy to read digital format that takes up about 1x1". Great, but why also have an analog gauge? also, why does the driver need coffee? |

If you're not driving flat out, you need coffee
:dealwithit: |
brain: it's "case in point"
|
i presented a case, and a point.
I did more reading, I'm going to reevaluate my DBW mapping. |

If you weren't so poor and Irish, you could afford a Mercedes, and then you'd know about such things. Here's a video explaining it: Here's a link to PDF of the owners manual for an M-class, which has a similar computer configuration. The system is described beginning on page 230. http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalA...13_M_Class.pdf TL,DR: Search, newb. |

okay, i revisited the DBW maps.
Here's OEM: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1374788308 Here's what I had: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1374788308 Here's what I'm going to try: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1374788308 There's a method to it all, but I can't brain enough to regurgitate it. |
