Can I upgrade to the DDC even though I don't have a CVT?

Why would you want to do that... You would just turn it off anyway...

I had a salesperson try to say the same thing during a test drive. "The thing is, the CVT in this car keeps pulling steadily all the way up!"
I argued it does NOT have a CVT, and she kept insisting that the 7AT AND the 6MT BOTH were CVTs. I had to demonstrate the paddle shifters to shut her up. Needless to say, I won't be getting a car there ever now.

Wouldn't it have been something if you totaled it..handed him the steering wheel upon return and said "I didn't like the color, but thanks for the test drive"!

I dunno about the rest of the car, but the DDC system runs on a variety of chemicals, including pyramid, magic hat, and miller lite. And if you spill any of those fluids on the front left damper, the car won't run right.
