Torque wise, it starts to come alive above 2krpm.

Heard the cvt is lifeless to drive.

Fuel savings between both is minimal. So ang binabayaran talaga sa a/t or cvt is yung convenience.
I own a CVT Honda City. And on Econ Mode + D Mode, it really does feel lifeless. But primarily because it really feels linear, you would never notice the gradual increase in speed, it takes a while to get to the speed you desire. But least it's comfy, especially for my passengers. On the other hand turning off the Econ Mode and switching to S Mode is another story, this is where the car feels lively. And to add, the rubberband effect that you normally feel with the conventional 4 AT is almost non existent with the Honda CVT, maybe because of the linear way of creeping up to the desired speed.

Could not really vouch for Mitsubishi's CVT, but I do hope the case/scenario is the same with Honda's CVT.

Calling the attention of tsikoteers with Mirage CVT to enlighten us please.
