I was just asking, as I am considering a midsized SUV. I can reference the forums I was on...I've had three cars now with Aisin 8 speeds. The Touareg has the RWD/AWD unit, my Atlas has the FWD unit with Haldex AWD, and my Volvo XC60 had the FWD only unit.
Zero issues.
What are people unhappy with?
Edit: Four. Forgotabout the Q7. Had the same 8 speed as the Touareg.
