I sure wish someone would admit the problem is with what the driver expects and not with what the transmission etc is doing. If you want split second shifts, spend split second money. Can you say economy car? Clutch life? Trans life? How about get a life?

I actually love the transmission. I've driven manuals all my life and this just gives my left leg a break. It has taken about a day of driving (today mainly over heavy grades) to get use to what to do. When it downshifts on a grade just like when you're in a manual when you release the clutch you have to pour on the coals. when it shifts up you have to back off. Going through the Santa Cruz Mountains was a blast!

Sounds like a plan. While I'm out looking for a life, I'll see if I can get you a volume discount on a sense of humor. It looks like you've gone a while without one, so you might as well load up while you can...
