Honda Jazz 1.4

[malana-3]

My friend recently purchased a Honda Jazz 1.4 i V Tec ES fitted with Automated Manual Transmission. He prefers to only use the automatic mode and is very unhappy with its acceleration from stop. The automatic gears seem to change up through all six ratios over a very short distance to the detriment of its acceleration and is very sluggish. Has anyone knowledge of this model and experienced this problem and is there a solution?
