How many of you shift gears yourself on a regular basis? Any issues?

Also, it will not do a manual downshift that would exceed redline.

Dan,

All the info Gizmo mentioned to is correct, except it only pertains to the V's. There is no performance mode on the Base models. You will get some better performance switching to the manual mode, but it is not the same as the V, you switch to performance mode with the T/C button on the console in the V's.

So Cubby what does the T/C on the base model actually do then?

Performance Mode and Traction Control are two different things. There are different degrees of traction control. Shift points, ride stiffness, amount of spin allowed are just a few of the things that come into play in performance mode.

I use mine on a regular basis especially when going down hill or nearing a stop [emoji113]

I don't ever use mine, but after my husband gave it a workout, the shifter cable broke. HOWEVER, I think that was just a coincidence & those cables have been a problem for others independent of manual shifting. It did give me a chance to blame him for breaking my car though ...

The manual shift does not use the shift cable for changing gears. It's electronic shifting with switches instead of using the cable
