It takes a bit to get used to, but it's still a bit annoying.

BTW, I'm new to the forums. Been driving my 2010 G37 for 3 weeks and I LOVE it

If you want the car to shift less aggressively, don't use the DS mode, which is intended to be aggressive!

And please don't complain to the dealer if you find DS to be too aggressive. Lame complaints like these result in watering down great cars so they can be more vanilla.
