Default E shift in traffic

I don’t know why I haven’t tried this sooner. I’ve messed around with it but not really in traffic. Always used power mode for traffic to keep it in a low gear. Tried e shift with power mode. Zero hesitation in traffic now since it’s always in the right gear. The GS really tries too hard to keep you in a higher gear. E shift and power mode is like having a different car. I actually enjoy the fact that’s it’s a gear limiter instead of actually having to shift each gear manually. Leaving it on 3 is the best for driving in traffic. Once you hit 30mph without e shift the car would try to be in 4th or 5th gear normally. I feel like the transmission will technically last longer since it’s doing much less shifting
