Completely wrong. I made the mistake of thinking that w/ my first test drive, hated the auto. Slow upshifts, felt like I had time to wait and pull the paddle again because it didn't respond. Same for downshifts and no control of second gear. Learned Sport mode was separate on the tranny not just VSC Sport. Much, much better, not as quick as my SMT but close enough to be happy.

So yes, it's a huge difference. Big enough I was about take a pass on the car entirely. Someone even posted about 6-8 permutations of different transmission modes available w/ the auto. Kind of crazy.
