Gen 6 SE I4 Transmission question

[031zz-fze]

I cant find these details on the toyota website and have not had the chance to visit a dealership to see for myself. I know the v6's have the sport mode or what ever where you can control the gears yourself. do the I4's also have this or is it just a regular 5 speed auto transmission?

I like my car a lot. The V6 has really nice power, but I am in Chicago and do about 6 miles to work and back, 3 miles to the gym + shopping sometimes, so I don't really need it. I have the last TSB done, even the I4 got nice power.
I am really happy, only one thing is bothering me - dual exhaust

You can control the shifts by going thru the gears (1st-5th) manually or downshift manually all the way down to 1st gear.

I came from a 250HP engine and am happy with the I4 performance.

Even when loaded with 4 men golfers and their clubs, I have cruise the freeways at 70-75 up and down the hills at 30 mpg+.

The V6 gets good mileage (6-8% less than the I4) and has lots of power but I don't need it or miss it.

I dont really need the manual featuer just thought i'd check to see if the I4's offer it too. By shifting it manually you mean taking the shifter all the way down and then moving it up as you drive? I have always heard that's bad for the trans. Oh well.

Going thru the gears manually? On an 5 speed auto tranny? What the hell? Start from L or whatever it is?

It's not possible, on the V6 yes.

What do you think it does automatically??????????

I don't shift up with it from a stop but I do downshift with it and back up.
