Man you are missing out. When I finally started putting it into S-Sport mode is when I really started falling for this car. It feels a ton faster!! The shift from 1-2 and 2-3 is awesome......Kicks you right in the butt!!

Dont knock it till you try it!

HOLLA!!

 

S-Sport manual ftw..

 

Getting a solid SST tune has changed my habits. I used to be Ssport manual everytime I drove.
Now I'm using normal auto at times and sport again because getting tuned made them feelbsuper positive and responsive.
I still have the need to go to my new Megasport manual made at least once a day because its just That much fun

 

If I'm just taking it easy I drive in Auto/Normal. Depending on traffic conditions I may switch to Manual/Normal or Manual/Sport. Sport mode is less jerky out of 1st in heavy traffic and more responsive for engine braking. For on-ramps it's almost always in Manual/Normal or Sport. I find myself having the most fun around town and maintaining acceptable gas mileage in Manual / Sport though.

I reserve S-Sport for ideal driving conditions (i.e. great weather, good roads and minimal traffic).

 

so.....is it bad to run SST on manual all the time?

 

I'm guess I need to start using mine more. I just always leave it normal auto and I was just thinking about how I wished I had gotten a GSR. Guess I should use sport and s sport some more.

 

When I ordered my car (MR SST) I drove the manual as well. I know most people go on about the manual. Bu the manual to me was ancient piece of junk that was going to need heavy modification to shift nicely. Where the SST s sport was so fast with its shifts. Given the aftermarket support for this transmission it was a winner

 

Me too.

You will just put a bit more wear on the paddles /stick.

 

Manual/SS all the time for me...............

 

I ALWAYS drive in manual and normaly in sport. I only put it in S Sport when im racing someone

 

I'm always racing someone

 

Thank god I found this thread. I've switched from normal auto to S-Sport manual and now I love the MR and don't regret it for a second I've the GSR.

 

super sport all day and shift at redline mostly unless not driving hard but always s.sport

 

and i never have the traction on or the ayc brake on either

 

I normally drive Auto-Normal...sometime I switch to Manual-Normal....I still have yet to put my car in Manual-SS, but from hearing everyone talk on this thread I def need too.

The problem is that our roads in Philly suck...there are so many potholes and uneven surfaces; plus the traffic is a pain in the butt.
