the reason why members on here say to leave it in 3rd round the city is so the box isnt constantly changing up n back down, plus the the engine/box will labour in overdrive. it is a known fact to disregard overdrive city driving. overdrive (4) is mainly for open road ;)

To any one who says that you can achieve a faster 0-100 or 1/4mile time or whatever, by manaully shifting an auto, i'd really like to know, what's steering the car while your doing this??

Like what has already been said here; put it in 3 for city driving and D for hi-way driving. If you have a hand book, have a look in that. It tells you which gears to use.

im really really confused about this one...unless ur right arm has been chopped off for some reason
why would two hands be off the wheel to change gears?
one to push the button and one to move it up?
and even still, if both arms werent on the wheel, im sure ppl have got wheel allignment thats not going to drive them at right angles
ur post is one to say wtf at :confused:
