Nice! A lot of people pick up the Autos in ... well ... pretty much anything.

Does she need to shift it high? My focus I can usually shift pretty low ... unless I'm getting on an on ramp.

Just not supposed to pull hard below 1,250RPM according to owners manual.

She shifts by what feels good. Just glad she likes smaller cars and can drive a stick.
