I'm surprised it bobs even with FSD, those are universially praised. But even considering those parts, it would maybe have costed them the GDP of Mali for spec them. It would hardly make on dent on the iterative development needed for a good tranny tune and drive modes. And that goes all the way back to not investing in good baseline settings as quite a few of their small car drivetrains or newly released drivetrains suffer. The big stuff is good it seems.
It's cuz it's a Jeep Renegade with a big battery and brembos.
4100 lbs (800 more than CRV), 3-4 inch shorter wheelbase than CR-V, geometry is probably a lot less favorable too.

The Aisin8 I had experience with in the various Minis and old X1, it was slow and couldn't figure out which gear it's supposed to be in and constantly gets caught with it's pants down.
Heard. I only drove them in rentals so it was full throttle everywhere.

The Acura 10sp was in the RDX, it was mostly fine around town, but it has this HUGE lag if you are just rolling along and then getting on the gas. SG found the same issue with the MDX and he made half a video about it.
That's terrible. I drove it in Odyssey where I was often mid throttle or higher. The downshifts were pretty aggressive and quick when i rolled onto the gas.
