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.

most of the time i just keep it in D ... but when im in stop and go traffic i use the manual mode ... keep the breakdust off the wheels

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

i love that exhaust note too, never gets old. I mainly drive in manu mode simply for that reason.

When I am at a parking lot, I use manual mode just to I can hear my exhaust lol

most of the time i use manual mode unless i'm not in the mood or there's heavy traffic

Same as above - auto mainly unless in a tunnel, parking structure, or anywhere I can hear that exhaust noise better in manual!

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!!!

Im mainly on auto mode, when not lazy i use mm to downshift and hear the engine and exhaust.

We have D?

I forgot when was a last time I had it in D

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.

lol same

Sounds like me

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.
