My post was to point out that it seems different for different people. I know it is supposed to learn, but maybe I just don't drive it enough (9000 miles in 2.5 years) for it to settle in.The smoothness of the shift, by driving mode, all depends on how you're driving. In Sport and especially Sport +, yes it definitely shifts harder, but it's also expecting you to be in that mode to drive a little harder. Go somewhere secluded, put it in sport + and floor it. You will see how smooth and quick it shifts. At least that's been my experience.
If I did as you suggest (flooring it in a secluded area) and it was smooth, great, but what if I am driving some twisty roads, speeding up and slowing down? To Norm's point I could make that a smooth shift with a manual, but as I am driving and I slow down for a corner or curve, then speed up, then slow down again for the next one, flooring it is not an option, and the shifts are often hard, even as I am accelerating out of the curve.
