Like most, I drive 99% of the time in manual mode.
Cruising on the motorway over the weekend, and coming out of one of the many 50 zones, with a clear road ahead, I thought to myself that I had never used kickdown in auto mode. I have now!
It immediately dropped a couple of gears, and been in sport, did a double declutch engine blip at the same time, and launched itself towards the horizon at great acceration!
I don't think I could have completed the sequence so smoothly myself in manual mode, would probably have not dropped so many gears at once for a start. It's clever stuff. Only had it four years!
