Novice questions: Is it normal to feel the gear change with a Mazda 6 automatic?
Bit of a Novice question, I have a 2013 Mazda 6 Automatic.
Is it normal to feel the gear change with this automatic, my car changes gear fine and seems to always be in the correct gear, but I can feel the gear change.
I normally have Audis with the CVT mulitironic and the only time you feel the gear change with that box was if there was a problem.

Yes, it's a torque converter automatic, not a CVT, so you will feel the changes more.

Nimble and agile handling. Spacious cabin is very well made. Huge improvements to refinement and steering from October 2016.
