edit: did anyone notice there are a LOT of z ads on the site recently... Almost every other page has one for me...

The innovative rev-matching downshift feature on the six-speed manual transmission is sure to draw both praise and complaints, as enthusiasts lose one more aspect of control over the car.

The "SynchroRev Match" function automatically controls and adjusts engine speed when shifting to the exact speed of the next gear position, essentially "blipping" the throttle to smooth out any up/down shifts. This helps to improve vehicle balance and smoothness by reducing the typical harshness when the clutch is engaged.

The system can be deactivated with a button next to the shifter for drivers who prefer less vehicle intervention and is offered as an optional extra.

The new 7-speed automatic, meanwhile, gets its own Downshift Rev Matching (DRM) and Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) features, which offer manual-like shifting response when operated in manual mode. Shift times get as low as half a second. Drivers can use the standard paddle shifters or the shift lever.
