Sorry, I have SMG and the preferred method for me is M! I think I have driven in D or DS maybe once or twice.

Honestly I do D mostly because with all the stop / go traffic I do the car stays in the high rev area a little too much when in DS.

HOWEVER, when I get my RPI exhaust I'll be in DS all the time wooo wooooooooooooo !!!!

I used to drive in manual mode a lot but now that I have the sprint booster I usually keep it in D and D/S for some real fun . When I am in stop and go or on a parking lot I just go to manual mode and keep it in 3rd gear so it's nice and smooth and no shifts.
