Very rough upshifts?
Hi, I've got a new c300 and I'm wondering what people think of the shifting? Sometimes it can be incredibly aggressive with upshifts and accelterating. I come from a 2011 gti that had DSG, so I'm wondering if this is normal and I just got used to the ridiculously smooth shifts of my GTI.
Because I mean it is seriously aggressive.

When the car is cold it delays upshifts & goes into open loop high idle to heat the Cats quickly for emissions. Can be slightly more aggressive but not bad.
For shift shock issues ~ tell the dealer to put it on a Star. Check all change pressures & reset all adaptions & it should be fine.
Ensure it has the latest software flash.

My shift shock comments relate to fully warmed up car where changes should be ultra smooth.
