How do you roll with your AUTO?

Just curious. I can flip her and change gears manually but I rarely do it. In Colorado there are many situations (mts hills...etc...) where it would be convenient, but the AT does supurb.

Majority of time I leave in D, only except when in parking lots or tunnel or parking garages will I leave in MAN mode so I can hear my S/C and exhaust better

D most of the time, mainly because I am in 45-60min of traffic to and from work everyday. Which is the only reason why I went with the AT over MT. I don't regret it one bit

my answer is ambiguous....there really is no rhyme or reason to my MM mode usage - it all depends on my mood.

if its late or very early, and im tired - Auto mode - but if Iam loaded on caffeine w/ a warm motor MM mode! In traffic...it depends.


I cant drive stick because im stupid - but gear trannys do sound like big headaches!!!

I spend so much time in manual mode that I;ve caught myself (even once today ) accidentally slip it into neutral from drive thinking I was in manual mode.

$4.00 per gallon

Because the gas prices are getting to high it does not leave D. I have actually gone to my other car now to save money. It is killing me that I can't afford to stick $60.00 a week into my G. Now it is more of a weekend car.
