With the dual clutch transmission there is no lag between gears, typical of an automatic transmission. There is just a click and it is immediately in the next gear. This car has no torque converter. For the first 1,000 miles I was amazed every time it shifted.
I did plenty of shifting in an earlier life! 10, 13, and 15 speed Road Rangers, even Quadboxes (Two sticks, a 5 speed and a 4 speed transmission that worked together to give you 20 forward speeds and 4 in reverse.) Now playing with those is just a hobby.
I am fine with letting the car shift itself! It shifts a lot faster than I could with a manual transmission!
FLL: There is most likely a reason that Joe Biden is not allowed to drive his manual transmission car anymore, but it has nothing to do with Presidential security!
