Not being dis respectful, but do you think thats cos you've learned how to drive it ?.. since I am wondering how much, the experiance of the auto box plays a part. I once had an Audi S6 Quattro that had a 'learning' box, and shifted according to how you used the accelerator. Quite un nerving at times,.. since when you floored it, there was no power if youd spent the last 10 miles wafting lightly along, it didnt think you were serious when you hit kick down, the trick was to stab the throttle once ,.. before you really needed the power... then next time you hit it.. it would go ...just a thought...
