I am curious how most of you are approaching the transmissions in the cars, manual vs automatic. Which choice would yield better Q times and race laps? I would be interested to hear about your preference and why.
The Shifter Kart is manualAnother reason why I avoid driving [...] karts in this game.
Yeah, somehow I got it mixed up with the Kart in GT5...I'm fixing itThe Shifter Kart is manual
That new Audi VGT electric car... you know how dumb it looks when you come to a corner and the dashboard just flashes "D" - that just about sums it up.
I dont see any point to driving automatic cars in this game, or any game really.
All great feedback so far. I too am average to below average but started using MT yesterday. I noticed I was able to set a faster lap time in the Daily A race using MT vs AT. Yeah, it will take some getting used to but that’s the way I am going to proceed moving forward.Manual offers better control when it comes to changing gears. I still find it a pain to use gears so people like me (you know some people in the average bracket), use auto still.

Plymouth cuda was another car with low power curve .Using manual gives you options.
*The option to use a higher gear in corners where traction is an issue.
*The option to short shift for fuel saving purposes.
I'm not sure about GT Sport, because I'm fairly new to the game and haven't really tried that many cars yet, but on earlier iterations of GT there were many cars that had the redline, and thus the auto upshift point, well beyond what was optimal for maximum acceleration. The Suzuki Cappuccino was one. Another was the Alpine VGT road version in GT6. In that car, using AT would actually prevent you from ever using full power, except in 1st gear, because peak power was developed something like 2500 rpm before the redline.
