Well you don't need to know what gear it's in when in M either, do you? But I like to know, and I would like to know in D. Sometimes when in D I switch it to M and back just to see what gear it's in.
Yeah, I actually use the stick more often, it's just much easier to say or google "paddles" than "the stick for manual shift mode on an AT." I never try using the paddles when turning.

If you don't understand what I meant and what others meant with their comments you have no hope with this car or this forum

Did you not read my entire post? Or even anyone elses? You don't need to keep it in manual mode all the time, otherwise what was the purpose of buying the auto? If you're highway cruising from point a to b and just want to relax you keep it in auto. If you want to have fun then switch it to manual mode end of story and that's all I was trying to get at. Never ever said it was track specific either

Are you inept? Or just don't understand cars in general? Of course you NEED to know what gear you're in in manual mode because it help you shift and lets you know how much you can downshift pre-emptively. Honestly, What purpose does it serve to know what gear you're in in D? Unless its in sport mode it's always going to go to the highest possible gear unless you floor it for efficiency. Also you gain nothing in sport mode that you don't already get by switching to manual mode.

If you're keep your hands at 9 and 3 on a track or autox even the paddles are always going to be left hand for down and right hand for up. You also should select the gear and speed you want before the corner, mostly because this transmission isn't a "semi-auto" like a PDK or DSG trans, its a simple torque converter auto.
