i'm gonna try this.

 

OK..... I used e-shift today for a bit of spirited driving on the way to work because of this thread. The exhaust does sound much better and driving is more fun, but boy does it waste gas!

 

Mannn I was in traffic yesterday and I think i drove almost 20 miles without braking in traffic. All i could think of was this thread haha

 

um, never cause for some reason us gs430 owners got screwed and we didnt get it....oh yeah and our brethren in the gs400's

 

Ahh nay my friend, though art doubt the gs400!

98-2000 gs400 have eshift.

Eshift was actualy a main seller for me. Thats why i strictly looked for 98-99 GS4's on auto trader. I think some 2000 models dont have eshift, i could be wrong though.

 

I use it quite a bit in the winter time for downshifting when going into a turn or in traffic. It makes me feel like I'm driving a car with manual transmission and using the engine to slow down instead of just the brakes. E-shift with snow tires and VSC provide me with no worries driving this car in the snow/winter. Just need to take it easy and be smart about it.

 

rarely if ever. pretty much only when ppl ask what the buttons are for lol.

 

I use it 20% of the time. When used, i agree with Tom Lee.

 

I use it to slow down when passing cops so as not to tip them off by hitting the brakes!

 

I always use the E-shift, there is no reason not to: All that putting the stick one click more to E-shift mode does is enables the buttons on the wheel. The auto still changes at exactly the same points if you don't touch the buttons.

Nothing lost and everything gained - if you don't want to use it you don't touch the buttons!

Now you can rev to the limit, preset down to a lower gear year without a kick down delay and avoid flashing "book me, I am guilty " brake lights at cops.

 

exactly. accelerating in 5th from 30mph FTL. haha. its nice to be near if not in the powerband.

 

i use mine everyday.. my car stays on M.. never on D

 

I use e-Shift when premium gas is less than $3.
I know, what a cheap-@$$...

 

well my bad but my gs430 breathren got screwed

 

I use it every time if my wife is not inside the car.
