A/T Owners how satisfied are you with the transmission. Thoughts/Suggestions?

I've been satisfied with the transmission of the car so far shifts fast for being a darn slushbox it's responsive for what it offers. I'm not after 0-60 to be honest.

Few Suggestions I'd like to see on the next version make the gearing more aggressive, gear ratio, maybe Aisin can develop a transmission close to the rave reviews ZF gets. Give it a launch control, I'm sure it would make a huge difference in 0-60 times.

Current AT owners share your thoughts and mods feel free to shut the thread or close if this turns into another MT vs AT war.

Had an issue early on that was solved by a reflash of the TCU per a TSB (acronyms FTW).

Other that than it has been fine shifting in D or manual mode. Shifts a bit too early in D for my liking but still don't regret the transmission choice.
