Days 6&7

Here’s days 6&7 report of the week of A/T manual shift mode only.

Well this ends the ritual of manual mode only driving. Nothing like having jumped into the deep end to see how the water is.

More commuting and other around town driving. Nothing new or monumental.Manual shifting is all good and fine but you are mostly trying to do what the automatic mode does very nicely for you. I will probably spend most of my time in normal auto mode using temporary manual shifts especially for downshifts when coming into turns. Next I’ll be exploring A/T sport mode.

Thanks to everyone who shared my experience here in the forum. I appreciated all the interesting comments and suggestions regarding the A/T. The A/Tin this car is a technological marvel. Second only to the vehicle’s stellar handling, I find it to be one of the most exciting aspects of driving this car.
