The tranny takes a bit of getting used to but after a while it works pretty well. Mine's a little stiff until it gets warmed up but then it shifts real nice. I find that the more I drive this car, the better it gets. I have put 12,000 miles on it since August and I find that the more mileage I put on the smoother it gets.

It must be a German machinery thing because in the BMW bike world motors are considered "green" until they have 20k - 30k miles on them.
