The downshifting is another story, which in my case is rather abrupt and in particular when rolling down a hill at or around 70kmh (40+mph). Discussed in detail by many recently and in the past, 'Search' will confirm this.

Thanks X Foomph. I have searched the forum back and forth and there is another mixed thread of mine on the topic. I am just trying to determine whether it is the reality or just a brainwash, because as I said with all that jerking chances are you will change transmission sooner than you would otherwise.
