No synchro Rev Match on A7?

Yes, the 7AT always matches revs correctly, whether it's shifting on its own (D-mode), or you are shifting (M-mode).

And yes, you can use the shift knob instead of the paddle shifters if you want. It works the same as most AT's with a manual mode (sequential-like, with a forward click being upshift and a rearward click being downshift). It's probably better and easier to always use the paddles if you can get yourself used to it. I have 6MT habits so I'm constantly putting my hand down there and using the stick instead, then catching myself doing it and switching back to the paddles. It will take a while

If you think the 7AT is speeding you up when you downshifted intending to decel, it's not the 7AT, it's you. Check out what you're doing with the throttle. You can downshift for accel or downshift for decel, and the difference is your throttle input at the time.

I really can't help it..... LOL. People here who actually own these with the auto have to argue how they work with somebody who took a test drive once.

Agressive downshifting with the paddles, uses the rev matching feature just like the manual. No other auto trans I've ever experienced has even done anything close. If you don't "believe" it then by all means go take another test drive and get the sales guy to help you.
Also.... when down shifting, the car won't "speed up" if you take your foot off the gas like you're sposed to do when you're.... down shifting.

Sorry I said anything. One of these days I'll learn to keep my mouth shut.
