So far, it seems like a toy. Reason? The car's computer does what it wants to regardless of what gear one selects manually.
E.g., when coasting, I would like to put the car in 5th? The computer puts it into 4th, for fear, I suppose, that the engine might be lugged if I gave it more gase.
It might prove useful to get out of some snow conditions if one could set it in manual to start up in 3rd gear. Mine will not do that. It is smarter than I am and selects 1st, which is not helpful in the situation.
I am unwilling to test this, yet, but my guess is that if you put it in first and floored it that the computer would shift the car through the gears.
BTW, I have and '08 SC 2.0T, with the five speed auto.
