According to this article regarding the 2014 Fiesta,
Quote:
When the Fiesta first launched, we criticized the optional Powertech six-speed dual-clutch automatic for its slow, unpredictable gearchanges and laggy response.

Shifts felt snappier, and requests for downshifts were met with more urgency.
