It makes things smoother when just putting around. Having it is a big plus. If anything it's one less thing to worry about when you have passengers and want to have a smooth drive. I think it was a great addition.
This is super interesting - I wonder now if the engine breaking lag (on my gas blip) was the rev matching when I thought it was turbos still spooling? I will get my car and do a better analysis. However I really like this feature as there are days when I am kind of tired and its nice to have the car helping a bit. I can't believe how much amazing thought was put into a transmission that they apparently want to abolish??

Only 2 more months to go for mine!
