Automatic cars?

How anyone can muddle up their gears is beyond me

What I do is, when in 5th going down to 2nd for example, is tap the gear stick towards me so it falls out of gear, then while slightly holding it push left or right and up and down depending on what gear I need I keep telling my mum to follow this, but she still goes from 5th to 4th when she should be in 2nd :@

I agree.

nah, coming up to a corner on a spirited drive you can just knock it into second/third, power down and just grip like shiz round the corner then carry on, i'd just feel like i'm playing a video game or something if I was driving an auto, although in forza I still use manual

When I come up to a corner.. I don't do anything except let off the gas a little, turn my steering wheel, then halfway through the curve.. I give it gas again, and by the end of the curve.. I'm the same speed as before.

hmm.. i often come out faster than the speed i entered it in, i can go round corners pretty quick as i've spent over £600 on suspension and about £500 on other handling parts.. anti roll bars, poly bushes etc.. but i'd also say the gearbox has a pretty big say in the matter.

I tend to go down the gears one by one, just habit I think really although my car does seem to like it better lol

In my sisters 1.0 VW Polo, when we're going up a hill I feel like I have to get out and push, lol! Such a puney engine.
