My real world problem is this: overtaking a 40 feet trailer on a windy secondary road in a forest. This is a valid exampel in the UK and Sweden.
As mentioned above: using AUTO would mean a delay and then downshift, comined with a nasty jerk. To minimise time in wrong lane AND make a "nice" overtake, I will use MAN and downshift to 3500-4000 RPM prior to overtaking, hence utilising my Power Band (35i), and will pass the trailer with no or just one upshift.
