Every time my auto 2.6 hits 46mph and changes up into 4th I want a manual again  >:(

But.... every time I drive 300 miles from Cornwall to Kent (and then back 2 days later) I know that there as no way I could cope with all the manual gear changes. :(

The 'sporty' button is getting a lot of use on the roads I drive on day to day in Cornwall.......

What occasionally catches me out is flooring it with button pressed seems to lead to a double kickdown, lots of revs (redline maybe?) and little forward motion.

I don't know the 2.6 gearing .. but the 3.2 ... put it in 2 and sports ... you have an awful lot of power and acceleration right up to 60 + and if thats not enough the roads are not proper twisties ... so use 3  :)
