There has been quite a bit of discussion on how our civic's like to get up and go, plainly I will entertain some of you.
Basically, The car is programmed very roughly in the acceleration department, almost laughingly so.
This is how it works.
Pedal is not depressed = You get 1%
Pedal is depressed 1-10% = You get 10%
Pedal is depressed 10-25% = You get 20%
Pedal is depressed 25-45% = You get 40%
Pedal is depressed 45-65% = You get 50%
Pedal is depressed 65-85% = You get 80%
Pedal is depressed 85-100% = You get 100%
This seems to be about right, I might be giving it too many variables here, In real world driving I only notice the 4, Idle, 20%, 50% and 100%
This would make sense of how I've also realized how the car behaves while cruise control is not activated, I can tell that if you are going 65 mph, and just hold the medal near that "spot" you can then individually feel the rough points in either slow down or go, It takes a mighty hill to budge the motor vs. hill or wind.
Another thing to enlighten you would be a layman take of this phenomenon;
The pedal likes to accelerate from a stop, but once at speed it prefers 35%~ to stay at just that speed
So that's that.
