Default Re: CVT on the 06 HCH vs. 04 HCH
to resurrect this thread:

just noticed something today while setting cruise control at 35 mph on the 06 hch

the cvt will adjust with shorter gear ratios (engine braking kicks in) with regen if the car's speed exceeds the set cruise speed by 4+ mph. i was going down a very slight decline when the revs shot up temporarily to 1600 from 1100 rpm as the car's speed hit 39 mph, and then returned to 1100 rpm after the speed stabilized again at 35 mph.

didn't see this happen on my 04 hch which only used regen to slow the car down during cruise control.

can anybody verify?
