The CVT locks up like a manual, there is no torque converter slippage or power loss except when stopped.
Gear ratios are infinite depending on throttle and speed. Since it works like a manual, mpg tends to be better.
Subaru has paddles so you hold it in virtual "gear" without virtual "downshifting".
