Uh... it really does shift as fast or faster than 95% of people can possibly clutch in clutch out... recorded with Osiris software. Also faster in average 1/4 mile and 0-60 times, which corroborate with that. Maybe you test drove one that isn't in good repair?
It's also influenced by trans fluid temp and throttle position, so if the fluid was cold and you didn't give it much pedal, it might feel a bit more granny shift-ish.
Also best to have VDC off.
And throttle response on both AT and MT needs to be tweaked.
Anyway, like I said, you can turn the shift speed and firmness waaaay up with Osiris.
I'd try a different one or see if someone around you has a tuned one to play with before you decide... That said, if you prefer a MT, go for it!
