Do you guys really find the manual mode useful? Maybe it's because my last three cars were manual, but I find the manual mode auto just a toy. Not too useful. It does help slow down a bit where I would downshift, and the rev match is smooth, but still, kinda not the full experience for me. I find myself just leaivng it in auto 99% of the time.
Without the feel of the clutch, just not the same.....

Question 1: "Is the manual mode useful?"
Yes. I use it when passing people, doing a uturn, driving agressively, or any other time I need/want to hold a gear out longer.
Question 2: "Are rev matching downshifts cool?"
Yes and no. It's cool that the tranny rev matches. The part I don't like about our downshifts are the "double downshifts." When you floor the car then it downshifts once, then a second time about 1/2 a second later.
In every other auto I've had, it'd downshift to the lowest gear possible instantly. None of this double downshift crap.
