Allot of the time when I have the tach stuck at 5000RPM it feels like I am going NOWHERE. I almost get better acceleration when I keep it at 4000RPM whcih takes constant foot pedal adj and looking at the tach.
Yous should try both was 0-60. I would be surprised if 4000 is better (plus yoy have to back off to keep it there (you might do better with manual shifts with the pedal.
However, the max horsepower point is at 5000 rpm plus, and the best acceleration is suppose to be at that point, which is where the CVT holds it after FINALLY getting to that point.
I am not interested in drag racing either, but when making a right turn on red or making a right turn at a stop sign, I have to remember to allow more then normal room in front of the closest oncoming vehicle, as more then a few times I have sweated out watching through the mirror as a vehicle keeps closing the distance as I have the pedal floored trying to get up to speed,
Note - I had a different model Nissan that had a CVT that did not have a lag. Unfortunately, Suzuki chose to use what I am guessing is a cheaper CVT from the same manufacturer that does.
