Automatic Downshift Delay

drdre8424 · 07-25-2009, 05:04 PM

When your at cruising speed and you accelerate, does anyone notice a longer than usual lag from 7g to a lower gear...like the car is trying to go faster in 7g but realizes it's easier to drop down a couple of gears then finally does it, and u accelerated more than u wanted to because of the delay...i know, i know use the paddle shifters, but without them, is this normal?

I've gotten used to it, or, it got used to me.

Paddle shifters, abuse it or lose it. Just reminding you again.
