Meaning that when I think I'm downshifting to third it'll have just done that so I wind up in second and far too high in the power band for what I'm trying to do. It always becomes and "ah ****" moment. Managed to do that a few times a months for the two years I had it. Some people never learn. lol.
Sounds lame. That is why I bought a manual sports car.
