Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm still working on the downshifting as well but I have never had as many issues upshifting smoothly in any manual I've driven. I'm sure it will get better with time but as you know it can get quite frustrating. Especially in a new car.

Speaking of downshifting, I'm working on that as well. My current technique when approaching a turn is to brake and ride the gear I'm in, usually sixth, until around idle and then quickly get off the break downshift into the appropriate gear and then accelerate through the corner. This can be tough depending on my speed. I know that heel-toeing and shifting into a lower gear earlier would be best but I'm not there yet.
