Default Learning to appreciate the auto-stick
I've had the car for a while now and have never cared for the way the automatic shifts.
For example, when taking a city street corner or after a rolling stop, it will stay in 2nd, or shift from 2nd to 3rd to quickly and the torque is gone reducing the grin factor (yes, it's in "S"mode).

So, I've been playing with the auto-stick and really having more fun with the city driving.
For example, I'll pull away from a stop easy and rev up in 1st then shift into 2nd and step on it. Great sensations and high grin factor.

I only wish the shift was more instantaineous like it could use a shift kit or something but I can compensate by shifting a litte earlier knowing how much lag is there.

Anyways, it's no 6spd but I'm really liking the auto-stick option more.
