the problem i find with it, is when you have it in the auto mode, it changes gear at a particular revolution for normal driving and brisk driving. hence why i use the manual mode cos you change the gear when you want to. i havent had an issue with the length of time that it takes to change gear but i know its longer than a manual.

the most annoying thing about it is when it changes down (as it does this automativally in either mode). if your slowing in 2nd gear and come to around 4-6mph, it will then change down to 1st even though very often at this speed you want to accelerate to pull out of a turning or roundabout. it can be quite dangerous because your looking at traffic, decide to go and then no power as it changes so you either have to immediately stop or then floor it to make up the time
