Anyone have experienced the following:
"In case you have auto tranny like me, I dont think its a good idea to drive the car rough on D, coz the gearbox keeps jumping for 6th to 4th to 5th, so for action, just slide the stick to DS, or even better, drive with Steptronic."

Have the SB, drive it in D (for sedate driving), DS (spirited driving) and M (for spirited driving x2) Don't see any problems, just need to get use to it. I find that proper foot placement (flat on the pedal aka accelerator instead of only the toe of the foot) is critical for proper control. Hope that helps
