1. Auto - Leave it in drive, hit sports mode and add to the fun with paddles. Regular D mode is unresponsive and the lack of in-gear breaking (due to not holding gears) drives me insane. As for the Auto being slower, well thats just down to gearing, which a simple diff ratio change will fix. Pretty amazed at how fast the auto changes gears in sports mode.

2. Alway's been an auto driver. Likely alway's will be so would continue to buy Auto. That said we do have a CVT in the family, but never again if I have a choice!
