For a commuter car it is very perky. You might want to have your car checked if it indeed downshifts extremely slow. I do not think there is a difference between the SE and the XSE as far as the trans goes but I could be wrong as her car is an XSE. Anyway, I will not kid my self with BMW. If it's not an M car or at the very least a 340i, I would not over look another brands car that cost thousands less and offers almost similar features or better for the daily driver.

Once it's on the move it goes, but when I needed power it takes a while to downshift. I have to plan ahead when I need to make a move away from the rest of the traffic. I'm just saying Toyota has a had of time and examples to program an 8 speed auto.
