As answered- Only hold in manual mode, or for a limited time if you hit a paddle in either sport or drive mode. Sport has much more aggressive shift points that seem to adapt to exactly how aggressively one is driving. I'm curious if it tracks all the inputs etc to determine how long it holds gears, but when driving hard, I often find it just as efficient as me running the gears. I had also considered this when I was getting annoyed with the rotating paddles but I just don't see it as a fix all solution. IMO the rotating paddles have a higher + to - ratio than some that would be fixed if you know what I mean there. For the same reason that steering wheel controls aren't at your fingertips, but ON the wheel. (Except in the S2K :P Whose layout I love tremendously) I don't know though, perhaps either would be equal given adjustment period. Also to anyone who hasn't driven an auto... DO EEEET
