I was really impressed with the auto tranny--shifted wicked quick and the sport mode was actually a sport mode. This leads me to my question--just how many modes or ways of shifting this tranny are there? I counted normal, sport, snow, paddles, and then the shifter itself. Am I missing any? Traction control seemed to have a couple of settings, too. Also for the record, it didn't feel short of power--it's not a Mustang GT, but still very quick I really get why people love this car!!

Welcome to the club! I drive an auto myself. Wasn't planning on auto originally but ended up with one and love it! So you have normal mode, snow mode (shifts ever so slightly smoother at lower rpm as well as launches in second gear) sport mode keeps the rims a bit higher so your closer to the power band and shift much faster .3 seconds or somthing like that. Then you have manual mode where you make all the decisions. It will down shift for you if it gets close to the stalling rpm point but you get hit the Rev limiter if your not careful. I am on my phone so I apologize for any spelling errors. I do know a fair bit about the autos so quote me or pm me if you got any more questions
