Sometimes she gets a lil confused. With so many gear ratios I totally understand her n it doesn't annoy me at all.
Sports cars are jerky. At least in my experience they have always been... maybe I don't spend enough money on cars? Or maybe I need to own german to appreciate a non jerky sports car??? Lol

The 370Z doesn't have a CVT.

Mine does the same thing. I just had the XC 70 out and it too has a manual mode. I noticed that it doesn't drop down into first untill the car has actually come to a complete stop, giving a smooth 2-1 down shift. I think that out ats' are programed that way to drop into first while the car is still moving.
