DCT owners: Do you drive in manual or auto mode most of the time?

aus · 10-18-2008, 11:39 PM

I find myself using the auto mode more and more since it's getting old have to pull the paddle/shifter, particularly since I'm still in break-in and the DCT seems to shift much sooner than 5500 RPM.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
