Drive: Power is where the HRV Turbo score the highest points. Provides instant response, with very symmetrical throttle to acceleration ratio, refined power delivery, despite being fed through a cvt transmission. It is surprisingly parallel this time around, literally unelastic in most of...

Also updated in the FE gen Civic is the CVT box. It is a touch more responsive now, every so slightly less elastic...
