Regardless of what technology an AT uses (DCT vs "traditional" torque converter planetary gears) I want a transmission that shifts smoothly. While a rough shifting AT may give the illusion of a "sports car" I am not interested in an AT that emulates a poorly driven MT. Rough or harsh shifts may give the illusion of performance but in reality speed is about smoothness and harsh or jerky shifts upset the balance of the car.
