You know, there is a button behind the gas pedal, when it is pushed, it puts the engine in red line mode. You will red line every time and do perfect shifts, there is no point in manually shifting.

Stereotype?? If I were to stereotype you, I wouldn't stop there and you can trust me on that. Is it not a FACT that you live in an oil rich region?

What does spirited driving have anything to with driving like a "maniac"? Loosen the hell up. If you choose to drive you car like a grandma then go for it. The definition of a "maniac" is what you make it out to be. Spirited driving is far from it.

Bahrain is NOT an oil-rich country infact we don't have alot of natural resources. We get our oil from our neighbors who drive like BARBARIANS

I do engage in spirited driving, that I cannot deny, but this is also my daily driver so i'm keeping the car in running condition is my top priority plus I can't afford to repair a SERIOUS breakdown (not saying that the car is fragile at all infact it can go forever even with the way I drive right now) hence my comments about the transmission
