Just leave it in D for normal driving. When you want to go mad, again leave it in D but switch off the traction control. For extra excitement switch to sports mode and boot it. Carefull though, it can turn round and bite you, especially if the roads are a bit damp. Best stick to private land. Richard P.

are the Auto boxes quiet strong?

thanks

welcome,if you want to get sideways probably best to use it like a manual (1st/2nd) the ar25 box isnt that strong the ar35 is,youd need to check which one you have.it should say on the id plate on the left side behind selector lever Thumbs Up!
