Many thanks!

That's what we do all the time! and this is the value added of an AT
Adapting the car to the driving conditions (traffics Jams, fuel saving, or when you take control , slapping a M mode, playing with the paddles or stick easier and quicker than an MT
In my point of view the AT its more versatile and a more complex car to tame. Takes time to discover his strengh which is the multi purpose (which doesnt means something not tasty)
A quick drive just around the neighborhood is not enough to catch it. Probably these peeps will only remember about the lazy (but economic) D mode, without trully experiencing the M or Sport Mode (with or without VSC Sport)
