owners say that the previous iterations of the dzire's version of the automatic transmission, w/c is called the automatic gear shift ( ags), - w/c is not an actual automatic transmission but an automated manual one - is initially a love-hate affair. they say that because of the ags' unusual quirks and tendencies, one has to drive it for sometime before one can master its unique characteristics.

the good news is that once the ags' tranny operations have been thoroughly familiarized with by its driver, the car is as spiffy and as torquey as they come in its class.
