Well, we can agree to disagree. No Sport mode, me no buy Auto. With Sport mode, me fine buying Auto. Different strokes for different folks. I was very, very disappointed w/ my first test drive using manual only. The slow(er) shifts were the thing I hated most about the car. Not sure if you have driven a quicker shifting SMT or DCT, that might make you feel different, especially if you push the car hard. Not sure how hard you were pushing down the PCH, I'd never really be able to thrash the tranny on the PCH like I would in normal city driving through traffic in the OC.
And yes, shifting to first can sound cool. It can also be quite handy under the right circumstances, even w/ an auto. Maybe even a lifesaver.
