Pretty much 100% manual shifting, it tends to shift a bit slow when cold, so the first mile I have it on DS, than shifting. Interestingly I tried to see how it effects gas milage, and I'm glad to say that I gain about 2 miles/gal when shifting manually instead of relying on the D mode. Now, obviously it's no fun to shift at 2k or even lower but shifting earlier than the automatic does in D position does safe gas on those backroads. But since I did buy the car for some fun, I shift later!
