Autoweek's Take on the Automatic

ZeeRay

Very often they fail to mention the rev matching for downshifts just like the manual. The auto in these cars is fast and tight enough to be considered even harsh as far as I am concerned. All in a good way, but slow, boring, or weak? I think not! It's a matter of choice and for some of us necessity. That said this guy may have gotten passed by someone shifting a manual but to blame that on the trans. is a sad cover for his own lacking skill or intestinal fortitude. I would put my 7AT against a M6 anytime. On a road track the minor MINOR losses would come out in the driving. These guys are more like MotorWeak than week.....
