Automatics these days are puzzling.
I've owned 2 Mazdas with manual transmissions, and two VWs with autos. The VW autos were excellent in my opinion, and the only situation that ever confused them was when I was slowing for a red light and almost, but not quite stopped when the light changed and I put my foot on the gas. Sometimes there was indecision about whether to select first or second gear followed by a thud and then back to normal operation. But those were an older VW and a performance-oriented VW, so I doubt their calibration was the same as the ones on the market now. The worst transmission I think I've ever experienced is either the CVTs in Nissans, or the 4-speed auto in my brother's Ford Escape.
