I bought this car and it is a 6 speed automatic and as long as I shift it manually it runs like a champ, but if I put it in Drive it lags and you have to mash the gas hard to get the transmission to downshift. However I have been informed that it is normal that you cant feel it shift when in drive, and this may be so, but it's staying in 5th or 6th when it should drop to a lower gear and ride out.
