Nothing to be scared of. Paddles & manual are there to add to driving fun. Downshift(left paddle) for more grunt & torque. Go Manual+paddles on long steep climbs.

A silly question, so say im on manual, can i just press right paddle at anytime to accelerate? Is it the same as stepping on the gas?

No question is considered silly here.[emoji4] Paddles work for both modes, auto & manual. On auto, after flicking the paddles, system reverts back to shifting automatically as you accelerate or decelerate. On manual mode, you dictate the shifting. The system won't shift for you.

Sadly, unlikely. The point of the Sky auto is efficiency. The manual mode & the paddles are there simply for freedom to override the system, not economy. Downshifts are more fun, you'll see.[emoji4]
Generally, sticks are more economical than their auto counterparts. Not w/ this 1. The Sky auto is a both an oddity & a gem.[emoji108]

(-) left/downshift, (+) right/upshift. On auto mode, just drive, paddle, brake normally....nothing complex. The manual mode relieves the tranny from thinking....hands that chore solely to you.[emoji4]

*altuy, looks like you had your PMS at North EDSA dealership. How's your service experience so far? Read somewhere in this forum some unpleasant after sales service in this dealership.

Can't wait to get my M3, hopefully next weekend.

Hi, polar

Yes, I had it serviced there. All is well, I think. When I read your message, I was like, what's wrong with North EDSA??

Happy for you, polar which kodo are you getting for yourself?

Yup, the 5yr loyalty yojin....you have to stay w/ the same dealership group that offers it.

Mr. T, the 5-year loyalty thing is for oil only, right? That is what my fiancee and I were told when we inquired from the Quezon Avenue dealership.
