I was a firm believer of "MT" only as well. After test driving it twice, I was sold on this AT box. My cars in the past were Suzuki Swift GTI (MT), Impreza L '96 (MT), Lancer OZ (MT), Impreza WRX '03 (MT), Volvo C30 T5 R Design (MT), and then my BRZ (AT).

I am pretty pleased with the (M) mode in this AT but it does have some weird lag issues around 2500rpm and 3500rpm(torque dip?), maybe its an engine issue rather than the gear.

Also it may be placebo, but gear shift speed seems to change when I rev the engine more. When just cruising in low rpm, the gear shift speed seems much slower.

I feel like a much better driver with this AT, than was on my MT since I have never taken professional driving lessons and such.
