The better your shift timing gets.
What I love best is that floor shifting and paddle-shifting give different driving sensations while in manual. And DS gives the most sedate shifts for instant yet smooth power. Just keep it in drive and downshift when you need a quick boost of acceleration without the aggressive feel. Leave the paddle alone for a couple seconds and you are back in D.
Yep. For a slushbox it does an amazing job. Sure, some people knock it but hey, technology changes things. Would I get 7AT again if given the choice? Probably not since my commute has changed quite a bit but hey, it may change again. Do I want to sell my Z because the 7AT is boring? Nope!
