Yep, I have and we intentionally bought a car without it. Not impressed. It's clearly oriented towards efficiency over engagement. My wife's older 6s slushbox is more entertaining to drive, although it clearly gives up something in terms of mpg to the 8s. Some of this may be colored by the fact that I'm a manual driver and the frequent 8s shifts just sort of make me feel like I'm dealing with a diesel.
