Have the 2013 Fit and haven't had anything like that. Wondering if it's something to do with how the CVT handles sudden deceleration. My SO's car, 13 Pathfinder, also has aCVT and I think it feels sluggish sometimes.

I have a Honda Fit 2010, and up until now I have not had any issues with it. It could be the CVT but one thing I would definitely change is using both feet to control car. How did you ever pass your drivers test?

The Honda Fit is a "drive by wire" setup which means your gas pedal is only connected to the computer by a varaible resistor which sends a signal to the computer on the gas pedal position. With the evolution of litigation and unintended acceleration suits as well as safety, automakers have built in a "Brake Override System" to prevent unintended acceleration. Basically when the computer sees the brake applied AND the accelerator depressed it will reduce power to the engine. I know 2 footed drivers will say "I always take my foot off the brake when I accelerate" but it doesn't always work that way. Routinely I see older drivers accelerate away from a stop with the brake lights on. This also has to eat up brake pads a lot faster too. Stop the 2 food driving and the car should behave normally.
