One of the Cruze diesels I test drove had a jerky kind of "brain fart" in the transmission as I decelerated at a red light after pulling out of the dealer's lot. It was a bit disconcerting, but I shrugged it off as a possible issue with the "adaptive learn". Who knows how it was driven on the last test drive...
The Cruze diesel transmission also feels a bit like the Volkswagen DSG during beakaway from a dead stop. I call the DSG a "forklift transmission" 'cause that what it reminds me of when driven. I'm sure I'd get flamed for that on a VW forum...! Anyway, I think it has to do with some kind of idle neutral strategy (I think I read about that with the Aisin).
