[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Just curious, what kind of terrain did you encounter that seem to cause such issues with wrongly shifting gears? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Flat asphalt. Like for example when you need to accelerate quickly to get around/avoid something. Most automatics I've driven will often shift into second too soon unless you drive aggressively, and absolutely refuse to drop back down to first gear—no matter how hard you stomp the accelerator pedal—even if there's still plenty of room left in the rev range. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago You can usually change the driving mode from eco over comfort to sport. They all behave differently. And the there's the kick down, that'll definitely shift down unless the revs would be too high. I love driving manual, have done it since I was 18. But automatic transmissions nowadays are really good. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago The only ones I've driven will not shift when you kick the gas pedal down, precisely to let you accelerate faster. permalink fedilink source parent
