In what respect?
In D it will load the engine up and refuse to down-shift unless you firmly prod the accelerator. In S it's pretty good. My only complaint is the way it will stay in a low gear (for what seems like an eternity) after you've floored it and settled at a constant speed. Leave it in S and it's quite a good set up. Keep in mind I hate autos too.
They're not prone to problems- even behind modified 2.0l EcoBoost engines.
