Just curious how often do you guys with the Auto Z use Manual mode? I use Manual Mode 90% of the time. My only complaint about the Auto is when you’re not going fast lets say 40mph the car will up shift too many gears in my opinion and feels sluggish. It also tends to hunt for gears at low speed as well gets on my nerves so I find myself in manual mode almost all the time. Some times I wonder if I should have gone with the 6MT since I love shifting gears so much.
