Umm daily driving shouldn't you just leave it in drive? Whats the point in buying an automatic if you're just going to use the tiptronic all the time anyways. The computer knows the optimum shift points. Shoulda just bought a manual in the first place

I have always use tiptronic when i drive to get the feel i need....i've found that if i leave it in drive and get on it to hard it feels like the converter slips,,and u dont feel the torque the motor makes......
please, let's not start this again. the thread asked about when to shift in manumatic mode. there are already lots of threads that say 'you shoulda got a 6mt if youre gonna use tiptronic anyway'
well, it's sorta late for that now, isnt it? people with 5at's have their reasons. including myself. i use tiptronic a lot so i guess i coulda got a 6mt. but i drive in traffic a lot and do a lot of city stop and go driving so the 5at was a better choice for me.
anyway...
a lot of 5at's that i know shift around 3k for daily driving because of the lag. the lag is annoying but you learn to compensate for it.

Acceleration? (high rpm)
Fuel economy? (low-med rpm)
Drivetrain life? (low rpm)
Comfort? (med rpm)
Each has a theoretical optimum when compared with throttle position.

the wife wanted a new cobra again but did not want to shift anymore. so i bought her an o4 mach-1 and she couldnt see over the shaker scoop.. she saw the lakeshore blue g-35 5at and said i gotta have it.. the best of both worlds...
