Kick my kicks to the curb

"power like a V8 if you need it" -- when does that happen? Not when entering a metered freeway ramp that is going uphill. It goes 0 - 20 in two minutes and I nearly get sideswiped by every car behind me and all the cars next to me. And if it's hot out, I have to turn the AC off to go uphill. And yet .. this thing has "hill assist" which is hilarious. It surely DOES need hill assist, but this CVT is no help at all! It also needs "parked downhill assist" because it is so clunky when you put it in reverse while the car is facing downhill, it needs an elephant to push it and the transmission clunks and chunks so badly it feels like it's falling out.
Hill assist helps keep the care from going backwards, has nothing to do with going up hills.
