- 2019 Civic Hatchback Sport
The civic hatchback sport is putting a lot more torque on the CVT at much lower revs than a 2016 Fit would (114 lb-ft @ 4,600 RPM for the Fit, 177 lb-ft @ 1,700 RPM for the Civic). I do know that the 10th Gen Civics have a CVT warmer on them stock to heat up the CVT fluid a bit while the engine is still cold. It could be worth starting your car and letting it sit until revs drop down to idle (800ish IIRC) before driving, that would give a bit more time for the CVT to be warmed up and grab better. Additionally, I always see people suggesting to drive in Eco mode until the car/coolant is fully up to temp.I have that same issue, it might just be the engine and cvt warming up. Once the engine warms up a little, I notice that the cvt doesn't slip, but I know what you're talking about. It's odd, because we also have a 2016 fit ex cvt and it doesn't do that at all...?
