No offense to people with the cvt but the 6mt in this car is actually almost comparable to the civic si which I said to be the smoothest manual ever made ..

Why on earth would they use a CVT Kizashi for the "base run"? The whole idea is to use the same vehicle and show improvements for each mod.

PS: It even says "cold air baseline" for that run. Armykizyguy92 do you have any contacts at RRM who can clear up what vehicle (manual/ CVT) was used for that initial run?

:? Was that meant to be "manual with 2WD/ FWD"? :)

So the same vehicle was used for all runs?
