    If anyone here has a V70R with the Geartonic (auto) trans, can you
    please answer a couple questions about how it shifts? (Assuming sport
    mode, if present)

    1. In manual mode, how long does it take to complete the shift after
    you push the lever? (Ideally, I'd like it to finish the shift before
    I can release the lever.)

    2. When it does shift, does it do so crisply, with a definite kick in
    the back, or does or drag it out by slipping the clutches for
    smoothness sake?

    Yes, the manual would be sportier, but I commute 60 miles a day in
    Atlanta, and the traffic gets worse every year.

    My XC70 Geartronic shifts very quickly.
    The shifts are smooth unless one is shifting something like down into
    2nd at 40 mph, then you get a big kick. It is still an auto, so most
    shifts are smooth but quick. It does lock up; it doesn't slip.
