Driving the AT going on my third year now. Best thing ever.

Coupled with a 4.556 FD swap (11% faster gearing across all gears) makes the AT really peppy. I only drive in sports mode and mostly just modulate the throttle and let gear breaking slow me down when I need to wash off speed and swap gears via the paddles.

Having said that. Regular drive mode is every shade of teribad. About all its got going for it is fuel economy. Not very involving at all to be honest and the lack of gear breaking makes me sigh and just reach for the sports button.
