I've watched over 10 reviews this morning and all are extremely positive. The only negative, mentioned by just one reviewer, was that he felt the transmission was a little less than smooth at speeds under 20 when going from braking to accelerating.

this is great news for me; my Turbo S Premium Plus is due in later this month.

One review also mentioned some consistent transmission stutter at 65-70 mph. Not sure why other reviews didn't note this, as I would assume they all got to travel at this cruising speed.

I did find one odd issue with the new six-cylinder, though. At around 65 to 70 mph, small throttle inputs caused a hiccup in power delivery. It almost felt as if the transmission stuttered between gears, but I wasn’t giving it enough gas to cause the transmission to downshift. I talked with my colleagues after the drive, and a few felt the same issue. It wasn’t anywhere else in the rev range, however.

I drove one today, but the dealer's locale did not allow speeds that high. I felt the issue that I mentioned above; it is not abrupt and I'm sure anybody would quickly get used to it. It seems that the lack of a torque converter comes at a (very) small price to low speed smoothness. Ditching the torque converter makes the drivetrain a good bit smaller, however.

Yeah and conveniently he notes the other reviewers agreed with him...after he mentioned it to them.

Overall, though, that reviewer was highly complimentary of the CX-90.

I have not noticed any high speed shifting issues in 800 miles. There have been two stutters from a stop in mine and one in a demo unit. I’ve had one weird shift hunting around 45mph.

Does turning off the i-stop function eliminate the shuttering off line? Or shuttering in general?

Two recent reviews seem much happier when turning off the i-stop:
