The Auto Idle Stop feature is eerie. Speaking of vibration, the motor-assisted torque variation reduction feature does a great job of smoothing out the vibration at low engine speeds, particularly at idle. I know that a 3-cylinder engine should feel rougher than the 4 in my CRX, but it doesn't. I like the raspy sound of the engine I first experienced last Friday on my brief ride around the block. That does it.
Work can wait.
Together, they let you know that it's OK to drive around at low speed in top gear to stretch that precious tankful of fossil fuel as far as possible.
