A couple notes on the automatic.
The Sport Mode significantly changes the shift points, i.e. the shift points are at higher RPM's and the transmission is held longer at high RPM before shifting. Doesn't seem to affect the downshift points much.
Change the automatic transmission fluid often. The owners manual recommends 60,000 miles changes, BUT then in fine print says 20,000 mile changes for city driving, stop and go/heavy traffic, cold or hot environments, or basically any regular use.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in my 1998 900SET 5-door, and change it every 30,000 miles. The Mobil 1 ATF costs a little more, but it is nice to know that it can take the heat and not varnish the plates or gum up the control valves.
