I have a special type of 'automatic' 'box.....
....which is so intuiitive it changes gear BEFORE I intend to make a manouvre. It knows everything I want to do before I do it and never ends up in the wrong gear. It acts like it has a brain and it never changes gear when I don't expect it to. Its much lighter and it doesn't cost £1500 .......I think its called a 'manual' |

"manual" mode...on an auto gearbox....pure crap!... The car still dictates what is the "optimum" gear to be in...fuck that...if i wana hit the rev limiter, thats my choice!...in "manual" mode the car shouldn't decide!....the driver should! ... the "manual" mode, is just some fancy paddle gear change bullocks. Allowing the driver to change gear within parameters dictated by the car... anyways, for real control....its Manual gearbox all the way for me!... |

In D, mine never starts in 1st, always second (as far as I can tell). Makes it much smoother.
DS starts in 1st though.
