IMO, not really, unless you are racing, driving in certain weather conditions or just playing around...some may disagree.
It's just an automatic transmission.

It will start out in first. It just won't shift any higher than third gear.

so can you go shift all the way down to low at a stop, and shift up through the gears...Or just as easy to start in 3rd and let the trans do the rest?? Thanks for all your replies ....
