I have been trying to mess with it the last few weeks, quick shifts, slow shifts, braking, not braking, and sometimes it feels ok, and sometimes not, but I haven't found a consistent pattern. A heavy flywheel could be it, but I honestly don't know. I have driven many different manual vehicles over my lifetime, and this is the first one that has drive by wire (or whatever it is called - electronic?), maybe that has something to do it. I can tell you this, I didn't notice it the first month as I was just enjoying the car. I am very particular about my driving and downshifting, and it just isn't fully smooth - I don't see a surge in the tachometer, as I watch it often, it just doesn't go straight to a deceleration mode, a very short (millisecond) surge before it accelerate - its hard to explain. In previous cars, you can blip the throttle and easily be within 500rpm and once in gear, it will make a nice whine instantly in deceleration, versus in this car, you get a little bump forward before it decelerates.
