The automatic tC1 has a seriously lazy-ass transmission. That thing is the Snorlax of transmissions. Took forever to figure out that you wanted it to GO. Stomp, wait wait wait oh, yes, your request to go has been processed, here we go...

The FR-S auto is light years better. In Sport mode it does a damn good job of keeping you in the powerband at all times, and it'll downshift in a flash when it needs to. Oh, and it actually has a completely manual mode, unlike the tC1.

This is kinda why I don't have a tC anymore.
