Don't get me wrong like I said to a friend at the dealership, I feel the car is an upgrade in every other department... steering feel, handling, technology, looks, etc. But to me the transmission is such an integral part of the car it just is a bit off-putting.

What ya gonna do though....
I wondered if it was fairly brief and on a new car. My drive home was ~1,800 miles once I was done with the required backroad course deviations and the transmission sharpened up over time. I'm told it's the "adaptation capabilities" of the tranny software learning your drive preferences--I buy it. If you're anywhere near Seattle (I don't recall if you've mentioned/posted your locale), I'd be happy to let you try my car.

// EDIT: just remembered, you're in FL--well, I'm considering moving back but likely too late by then
