The car will operate normally as you change gears while you increase speed, but if you are approaching a turn or preparing to overtake another vehicle, the car will automatically rev the engine in anticipation of the lower gear. As you downshift, the transition is seamless and the car will not jerk at all. In any other manual car, you must provide the additional engine speed by depressing the accelerator. Although that is not difficult for enthusiasts, it takes some practice and finesse for novices. I personally think that it is a great technology and it should be embraced. When my lease is up I plan to get a revmatch car.
