Pretty much opposite to the MT, then. Without assist, it has decent acceleration as long as you downshift enough to keep the RPMs about 3-4K
Mine is a 2nd generation, they come with TC as standard AFAIK and are all CVT.

You've got a 1st generation, the ultralight aluminium two seater.
Mine is mainly steel and seats 5 (but one of the passengers needs to have no head).

I'd love to have a 1st gen too, but they never sold them over here. Unbelievable, as you can see what our gas price is like a few posts back.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
