It has rev match, it will only allows you to drop a gear when it won’t cross the redline after you do it. I’m not a professional but that’s my best guess.
2023 automatic BRZ
So, I'm one of those who had to get the auto version because of a physical problem ( left knee ).
It's an amazing car with a wonderful chassis but the automatic transmission should have been better.
The main problem is its resistance to downshift with the paddles until you reach quiet a low rpm range.
This makes tracking and just spirited driving ( I always use the paddles ) frustrating.
You get to a corner, you press the left paddle to downshift, and it won't let you.
Other than that , it's not very fast shifting but it's bearable.
Did anyone come by a solution for this already?
Thanks.

I think the same as you.It has rev match, it will only allows you to drop a gear when it won’t cross the redline after you do it. I’m not a professional but that’s my best guess.
like how low the rpm you reach will allow you to downshift? from which gear.So, I'm one of those who had to get the auto version because of a physical problem ( left knee ).
