Sportshift most of the time. I try to keep the rpms as low as possible and coast in as low an rpm as possible, but thats just me. Auto if im lazy and tired to remember that im supposed to shift gears.

I prefer to drive in ss, I can get the rpms low with earlier up shifts. I also get more MPG.

Auto to and from work and most other times too.

I use SS if I'm in a good mood, just washed the car, and going some place for fun on the weekends.

There's nothing like cruising on the interstate at 70 mph in 5th, and then downshifting to 3rd for a quick overtake! If you've never done it before, try it at least once. You'll think your car really has a V8 in front.
