Go jump in an old Chevy with a 2 speed Powerglide tranny to experience the true meaning of "slush box".
I drove my moms 2015 RAV4. It also has a six speed auto with a sport mode in it. It is nowhere close to the twins AT. Same with a 2015 Chrysler 200S I had as a rental. 8 speed auto with paddle shifters and it's absolutely junk.


This is leaps and bounds ahead of most every other slush box.
