This car was meant to be a roadster. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I really like the autostick, and drive it like a manual most of the time, the only thing is I will downshift to 1st, but when accellerating I start in 2nd, and the Auto do the work between 1 and 2, and just shift to 3, after that I usually just go to Drive unless going down in gears to slow down.

My father taught me to use the L1 and L2 to downshift (back in the 60's)to save weare and tear on the breaks, and I regularly make brake pads go 50,000 miles. As long as you keep the transmissions serviced, you are good
