    Hi all,

    So just had a software update,. Since cars gear changes I questioned the smoothness of change whilst hard accelerating in manual ... but it doesn't appear to have had an impact ... so can you guys just comment on your vehicles that when driving in 'manual' mode, fully warmed engine etc that the gear changes under hard acceleration seem to 'lurch' far more (but are swift) than the very smooth and swift transition experienced when under hard acceleration in 'Auto' mode ... because that's what I'm experiencing ?

    It just seems that if I left it in auto it's a better smoother just as fast / virtually seamless experience when you guys are regularly commenting on various forum posts how you dislike auto in favour of manual ?

    Thanks all.
