I just cruise around, using the shifter as a hand rest.

Ermm... well if i'm in a lazy mood I just leave it in D... but most of the time I have to in manual mode because I don't like it shifting when I don't want it to. Autos shift at weird times, sometimes you just want a little more power but instead it drops down two gears, really annoying.

Sometimes I neutral drop at 6,200 RPM at stop lights... Yeah!!!!!!

I know your new, but you need to stop asking silly questions. This makes #2...3 strikes and you're out...

Always in Manual Mode.

P.S. I hope people stop calling it calling Tiptronic or Triptronic. Nevermind the fact that "Triptronic" doesn't exist. But "Tiptronic" is a Porsche/VW/Audi thing.
