Manual shifting only showing 4 gears?
When i switch it to M mode or use the paddle buttons it only shows 4 gears then goes to C mode. If im not crazy, i thought we had 5 gears?

5th gear is only usable in M mode at highway speeds (50MPH). It won't let you shift if it will drop the RPM's too low.
It's indeed a 5 speed
In "C" Mode it will allow you to manually shift gears 1-4. When you shift into "5" it reverts back to shifting automatically. You can only manually shift into 5th in "M" mode.
Hope that helps.

like 2000UZJ said, if the engine is revving at too low of rpm's the car will not have enough power i think... or however to say it and will stall out, RPM too low engine die, RPM high engine go vroom vroom
