You got the CVT option, not the manual, and paid less than MSRP. Pretty nicely negotiated. Congrats on that. At 0.550 on the top end and with a 3.757 final drive, that CVT will turn at a nice low RPM on the highway and in all sorts of secondary road conditions. You'll miss engine off coasting but the driving will be simpler and less complicated. How is the noise level inside at freeway speeds?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
