I am not sure if regular Honda Civic has a CVT transmission. I think it is available only for Civic Hybrid. A hybrid car is ruled out here in India because of the high cost. Civic Hybrid here is a fully imported car and costs equivalent to USD 50K!
The paddle shifters do auto shift up and down at specified RPMs and does not actually mimic a manual transmission system. Altis shifter at least seem to stay in the gear during my test drive. I hope this means slightly better FE. Unfortunately the sales guys were not knowledgeable enough to explain the functioning clearly other than just parroting "better FE than Civic paddle shift".
