W mode (Winter) forces first gear out of the equation - if you set the tranny to W and force the tranny to "2" you should stay in 2nd gear all the time.
I drive around the 0-35mph (0-60kph) areas of town in "S" + 2nd gear alot of the time. Very well suited to 35mph and only 3-3,500rpm. Plenty of pickup and you know you're already up around >7psi boost.
into the 50mph areas I change to 3rd and sometimes 4th. Rarely use 5th unless I've forgotten or am on a trip and wanting to cruise.
