Hyundai is doin' it... No Question!!! But, I have issues withthe transmission and suspension performance thus far. The Z only needs Koni/swift alignent and sways and it's a whole other animal. Linkage replacements improve the Z but it's not dire... as with the gencoupe, it's dire. The automatic options aren't quite as sporting as the 7AT. The "Originators" of sub-premium brand "DRM transmissions make the argment a win for Nissan. Though 300ms shifts are now slow compared to todays 100ms shifts. Hyundai is at about .500ms currently. Though hyundais shifts are a little smoother, they are slower... Me, I like the course shifting paddles. You're in sport mode, the car should be torquey and jerky. Don't like the jerkiness? Keep the muthafka in D till auto has reached third gear, then swiitch over. .
