I drove an automatic for the first time yesterday. Tryna put my foot down to merge but the car had other ideas and changed gears. Granted, it changed down to give me more power, but I’ll decide when I want to change gears thank you very much.
Older autos that just use a kick down throttle cable are okay because you learn where in the throttle travel it will shift, and it wont change. but modern cars are awful for it, the damn computer always seems to have a different shift point for “economy”.
