I've been driving a Freestyle since Tuesday night and I'll have it another day. The Constant Variable Transmission in this vehicle is impressive. It is much better behaved than the CVT in my daughter's Mini Cooper. The industry will most certainly be seeing more of these.
The ratio change is blended, not stepped, so you never feel a shift. The trans keeps the engine at optimum speed to literally match any driving condition. You have to drive it to understand. It is impossible to describe.
