Yes many complain of the SMG, because they are expecting an auto tranny or one that acts like one , but is quicker. Took me some time to drive it smoothly and it takes awareness while driving to run smooth. I knew what it was and what I was buying so I love its character. I've been in some fast cars and the 1/4 mile tracks most my life and this is still the most brutal shifting factory tranny in a production car. If people want smooth and reliable get a Honda. The people who keep complaining about everything that gave M cars their character they are the ones that are destroying M. For purist we'll just move to another brand or build our own
I buy my cars for the enjoyment not what R&T or C&D says is the fastest. Take any production car they test and it will gets its doors blown off in the 1/4 by a garage built ford Pinto
Cheers!
