I've used it mostly when we have driven the mountain roads in Colorado and S. Dakota.  |

I use it ALWAYS...if i'm on the freeway ...once I get up to cruisen speed (80 or so)I put it in drive.Around town or any other roads I'm always in autostick.One of the things I love about the KAT. |

Cincinnati is very hilly and I love to down shift and listen to the rumble of the straight pipes. I like to wind it up a bit on takeoff at times, also. I may grow up someday (but I hope not). |

I almost never use it, only, sometimes, when I'm going up one of those grades she wants to slip between gears. |

I use both equally. I like to wind it up sometimes to hear the rumble (and to let other people hear it). I'm in the same category of maybe I'll grow up, probably not soon though. Other times I just cruise. I wonder if this keeps the computer in a mode where when in drive, it still shifts nice and firm? I have noticed this the last month. I did reset the computer, but I've done this earlier as well, but didn't use the autostick as much. |

I use the Autostick 99% of the time. The only time I don't is when I'm talking on a cell phone. I love it! You get the feel of a stick without having to fool with a clutch. Because of my long legs, working a clutch would be a pain. I'm like the others that have posted that say they love to hear the rumble when they downshift and when they punch it. Ed, I'm with you - I can't grow up. Like my Dad told my uncle after he got a new jet ski last month at the age of 72, "I'll wither up and die when I grow up!". ------------------ |

I don't use it much, and I hate when I forget I have it selected.... (How many here have wound it out in first gear, and then remembered?) Anyway, the "Smart shift tranny" seems to adapt to my driving style anyway, so the car seems to know what I want when just in "D" |

Use it or loose it. ... Well its a thought. ... I noticed more response time out of it, but It breaks traction easy...which isn't cool, unless you have a Goodyear tire making company in your pocket. I like the note from the exhausts in this mode. So I find myself doing from time to time... to slow down or skip first off the line from light to light. ... ------------------ |
