The GM V6 engine torque is basically either on or off, it doesnt have the smooth power delivery that the Barra does.
The Auto felt and drove like the old 4/5 speed Ford ones did, thumping into gear rather than the smooth change you expect. The only thing going for them is the interior is modern and thats about it.

We have one as a company car - the VF SV6, the killer is how doughy the throttle is mapped, then it has no torque under 4500 RPM, the pedal does nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing then its like now we're going, its like it has a huge dead zone.
Plus how slow the trans is to react to your throttle inputs, I reckon its a combination of the throttle mapping taking ages to react to your inputs and then the lack of torque making it worse.
My solution is get stuck into it everywhere
Its a shame because aside from that its a great car, the stereo is a bit average though.
