Park or neutral

I think it’s to stop the so call motoring “journalists” following the leader and only criticising the cvt because it raises the revs  farther pointing out how smooth it is. It’s not a Ford or German therefore it’s crap!

I doubt it. I had them on my last two Jazz and the paddles never seemed to be under my fingers when I might want them.

Most of the time all I used them for was engine braking down hill but there was one silly technique you could use.

Pull the down shift pedal twice which put the Jazz into discrete gear mode and dropped down two gears (out of seven). Then as you floor the accelerator press the button to put the car back into full CVT mode.

The result was that you accelerated with the car stuck at the red-line until you eased off. It gave a surprisingly good kick on the odd occasions when I used it. I've grown up since then though 🙂

Don't grow up!

Would you use N in a car wash where the car is pulled through?

I stay well clear.  Several years ago I used the local IMO car wash the day before trading my car at JCT600.  Drove home no problem but the offside front tyre was as flat as a pancake the following morning.  The drag mechanism that picks up the tyre 'popped' the bead/seal and caused a slow puncture.

Another reason is the swirl marks on the paint 😦
