I love the A10..
It doesn't hunt around for gear in town or on the highway, like some feared it would with that may options. It settles right in just like any other auto I've had.
You don't feel the shifts really. It's odd.. They're quick and precise, but you don't feel it kicking in gears. You really more hear the engine and see the RPM drop over anything.
It upshifts very fast when commanded to do so in manual mode. Auto mode upshift is amazing (as above and precise)
The 1st gear ratio allows for very quick offline acceleration even without the blower engaging (part throttle).
Down shifts are quick as well, whether commanding it or letting it kick down on its own. I don't feel I have to coerce it to kick down either, it just knows where it needs to be and does it.
I've not had mine on track yet, since I'm still getting up to the 1500mi mark, so I'll have report back after that point..
But, for the moment, I don't have any regrets and I love this transmission.
The A10 runs hotter than you're used to, so if you're paying attention to the Trans Temp gauge, you'll probably see it parked around 180F or so once it's warmed up.. But, it never really moves from there, so it's most likely the targeted temp point.
