It seems to me some auto drivers think they have a manual car just because they drive around in manual mode all the time. This is a normal auto trasmission guys with a torque converter, I don't think it was designed to be driven like a manual alll the time, that would be a DSG type gearbox you're wanting. It sounds to me some auto guys wanted a manual but caould not be bothered shifting using a clutch. I don't know/think that thisauto would hold up well under these conditions, i beleive the manuafacturer probably intended for it to be used as an auto with the ocasional foray into m mode. jmho.
