How does one downshift a CVT? They dont have "gears", so can you do anything other than just keep you foot off the gas let the speed drop on its own with engine braking?

Many CVTs are programmed to mimic a standard transmission, with stepped ratios, and most of them also have a manual mode that allows you to use paddle shifters to shift between preset ratios. The new Subaru Aspen, for example, operates this way.

So does the new Impreza. I was actually really impressed with how they simulate shifts since one of the things that freaked me out with CVTs was the steady power band. "SHIFT DAMNIT SHIFT Don't just go steadily faster it isn't natural"

Yeah, I was in one of the older Crosstreks with the CVT that did normal CVT stuff, and it definitely made me uncomfortable when it revved up to like 6k and just STAYED there the entire time. Like I understood that was where the power was, and it made sense for it to sit there, but it was still awkward, and made it feel like I was beating on the engine, lol.

Now, about what that stick coming up from the floor is called ……. to me it will always be an "emergency brake".
Why? I reckon it goes back to my younger days of driving our old Ford farm truck. Heading to town to the grain elevator with a full load of grain, driving a truck with mechanical brakes, and you go to apply the brakes and the pedal goes straight to the floor ….. no sense in trying the second time …… because if a clevis in the cable system came lose … that was it. Yep, after you have downshifted to the lowest gear you could get into …… and you're still moving forward ……. what do you grab for ……. nope, not the "parking brake" …… you grab and pull hard on the EMERGENCY brake ……. humfrz |

Anecdotally, there are names for it, based on previous use. But what is it designed for? |

To stop your car in the event of an emergency brake failure and to park.

There is no "I think" involved here. The Parking brake ONLY turns off the DRLs. No fiddling with controls is required. This is not new nor confusing. I will amend my comment. All cars with DRLs starting in the late 80s could have them deactivated by the parking brake. There are different regional requirements but I assure you that every car that came into Canada built after 1989 HAD to have DRLs. Most had them a couple of years before that. "Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA) and its Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (MVSRs) require that all new vehicles sold in (or imported into) Canada and built after December 1, 1989, be fitted with daytime running lights (DRLs) that go on when you start the vehicle." I would be willing to bet that most of the cars brought into the US had them from that point as well but some States just did not (some still do not) require they be activated.
