The automatic in the gas cars are geared for fuel economy and will keep it in the best gear for that reason. My 1.8 company car was bad but the manual mode was a work around. My Focus does the same thing.
I'm pretty sure I told you to get the manual trans, Scott, but noooooooo
Cruze Eco or Sonic turbo with the manual trans are considerably more fun to drive.

No stick in an LTZ. Was not an option. Stick was only in low end models. Thanks.
