Mine is a 4-speed auto; the top gear is OD.
No lockup, the car is too early for that.
Wish it was a stick.
I got a tach into it last March. If you don't have one, I recommend it.
Much of my driving is long highway commutes, about an hour each way. Sometimes I coast in neutral with engine running. Owners manual says I can EOC (OK, flat tow) but only up to 40 mph and 40 miles distance (!!!). So on highways the best I can do is neutral coast with engine idling; I'm not really sure if it's helpful. Sometimes it seems to make sense, as when coasting downhill.
Next car will likely be a stick - but so far I'm running this one. It's been very faithful.
