i haven't driven the cvt, but i could imagine its much different since we have gears. no, it doesn't replace a true manual, but it allows you to down shift and upshift to get it in the gear you want. ultimately though, if you do something stupid, its still an automatic, so it'll sort itself out or will prevent you from doing something dumb. that and you can't stall hehe.
