One thing the Courtesy Jazz I am driving has a 'normal' auto gearbox, and it also has manual paddles too. This is smooth between gear changes, so why couldn't they have made the Civic as smooth as this ?
I had a Jazz for 4 years, wonderful car, has a CVT box ( not a "normal" auto box ) which give seamless changes by nature but is a totally different type of box from both normal autos and I-shift type automated boxes. Although as beautifully smooth my I-shift has become I still regret that Honda did not fit the CVT box to our Civics because I think that gearbox is about the best auto I have ever driven
