Sport mode question

b15 · 04-12-2013, 09:55 AM

If I remember right, I think the 2013 I test drove DID upshift automatically for me. I think this was something Nissan changed with the refresh- maybe someone with a 2013 7AT can confirm.

Also the only time I popped my auto cars into neutral was if I was waiting for a train. Sometimes I just popped it into neutral, other times park. If you're going into N at a normal stop, it's pretty pointless unless you want to look like a manual because you don't have to hold the brake to stay completely stopped...

Mine's a 2009, they've never auto-upshifted in manual mode.

Right...but I drove a 2013 (not a 2009) and I'm pretty sure it did.

Just throwing that out there. Doesn't really matter to me- I drive in manual mode all the time...oh wait

Edit: come to think of it, I don't remember if I had it in M or if I just hit the paddles in D. Maybe that's why. I don't remember though.
