It really depends on the particular transmission and more importantly the tuning.
I like Honda’s 10-speed automatic in the previous generation Accord 2.0t, but don’t like it in the Acura RDX. It shifts more logically in the Accord.
I don’t like Ford’s tuning of the 10-speed they co-developed with GM. It slams into gears so hard that I half expect the transmission to eject onto the road-particularly in the Mustang GT. But it’s a wonderful transmission when bolted into the Chevy Silverado 2500.
It’s amazing what tuning and software can do to the same transmission. But I have to say, my favorite transmission ever is the ZF 8-speed automatic in my Dodge Charger. It always seems to be in the right gear and is so smooth. Shifts are quick too.
