Porsche measures their automatic gear changes in milliseconds. Smart measures them in geologic time scales.
I truly don’t understand why they didn’t put a CVT in those 2nd generation cars (the ones sold in North America). It’s the perfect application! Small car, not a lot of power, efficiency minded.
The transmission in those things is an amazing level of suck, too. It’s this bizarre automatic manual thing that’s just awful to drive.

If the smart car was made today it probably would have a cvt. But an extremely budget car back then, cvts weren’t as common.
