If you get the optional 6 speed auto it will be a lot better than the old sloppy 4 speed which was a standard box
Pros: better than 4 speed
Cons: old sloppy 4 speed

BMW manuals are a bit "notchy". I have to say their ZF automatics are a lot better.
Cons: manuals are notchy

In video games the SLR McLaren is always bulky and slow compared to its peers. It is heavy, front-mid engine, 5 gear automatic transmission with sensible gear ratios for real life driving but poor performance for all out racing.
Pros: sensible gear ratios
Cons: bulky and slow, poor performance
The only thing I don\u2019t like about my F87 M2 is the automatic transmission. It\u2019s noisy, jerky and uncomfortable. Not a premium transmission. Fast, but not good.
Pros: fast
Cons: noisy, jerky, uncomfortable
Vehicle:
BMW M2
WRX automatics really don't give the experience is my belief.
Cons: lacks driving experience
Vehicle:
Subaru
I *hated* the 2025 Honda Civic Sport (150 HP). I couldn't wait to get rid of it. In my opinion, the automatic transmission makes weird decisions on shifting at low speeds. Normal mode often seemed to be in the wrong gear. Sport mode never shifts to your top gear.
Cons: weird shifting decisions, wrong gear in normal mode, sport mode doesn't shift to top gear
