Q: What's the best way to drive the SST?

A: Manual

I wasn't the one asking which mode is best. I'm buying another manual.

But if I thrash it around in manual for a bit, then put it into auto, it'll try to hold a lower gear longer.

2010 RA SB with 33k miles (stock). 95% of the time in normal manual, no issues. I change SST fluid every 15k miles with Pentosin FFL2. The car runs smooth and strong. I understand that there will always be an occassional clunk and weird noises but that is completely normal for any DCT.

When spirited driving is needed, i usally drive in Sport/manual and use the console stick. The paddle shifters are used in twisties which are few and far in between here in Miami.

Sorry, i know i'm late to this party...
