I had a Caddy loaner for a day and the only thing I had to get used to was hesitation on take off, actually more a delay as 1st is engaged and a lack of creeping forward until 1st engages, unlike a trad'l auto. On an incline you can roll back before it then takes up, something changed in the new T5 7DSG apparently. The actual changes were very quick and smooth.
