It's a case of the car being unable to read your mind and act accordingly. It takes an educated guess and it's fairly aggressive in that sense, so I'd say under normal/most conditions it's pretty good - though sometimes it shifts early and holds the gear on gradual accell, rather than bouncing back out if you get on it a bit.

But overall, in the traditional automatic sense - it does it's job pretty damn well, when using the paddles, it's perfect once you learn where the gears are best suited and how hitting the downshift pedal reacts at different speeds.

It's about as close as I'll ever get to a sequential double-clutch manaul, and it does fine for me.
