I dunno about other DCTs but I've driven lots of ATs and my DCT is smooth as silk. In any event, who cares about absolute smoothness when buying a sporty vehicle? As long as it's not crazy jerky like a single clutch, that's just nitpicking and doubtful it's the same sensation as a guy who just learned how to drive a MT.

It's like this I believe:

Which in reality doesn't work as well as either a real DCT or a ZF8. I assume Mazda is using an Aisin version as they usually do.
I agree with the smoothness with a sporty vehicle, but this is a Mazda SUV, it's not a BMW M, Porsche, or AMG product. M5 owners bitched to BMW about DCT... so this would have to be exceptionally well designed to not get negative comments from the intended buyer.
