I like the auto as well. I always drive in DS mode (usually in M with paddle shifters). The G is a quick little car! Obviously not fast when compared with sports cars, and the S/M/AMG models etc.. for for an every day car (and for me, my first car) its fast enough and the DS/M mode is just plain FUN! But, put it in regular D mode and you have a smooth, luxury cruiser. Great for everyone's needs.

The gear shifts can definitely be a bit bumpy at times... and I don't like how it downshifts for you.. sometimes the gears get caught when you are downshifting at the same time the car is... and it ends up double downshifting or just kinda 'stalling' (which is the only word I really have for it even though it may not be the correct term).

Tranny has been less bumpy with the newer updates, but what really freaks me out is the hesitation I experience when I brake to a slow speed and then accelerate again. Sometimes, the transition can be smooth while at other times, it makes the whole car not respond for a good second and then suddenly lurch forward/jerk.

If it was from a rolling start, then it would be no contest, but from a standstill, the c63 cant exploit the all its power as immediately as the v36. So in the 'real world' the c63 was lineball up to me hitting redline in 2nd. Once in 3rd, the c63 starts to acclerate away, but at this point we both had slowed down.
