The up-shift I have down. Occasionally I mess it up when I get in a hurry.
Down shifting is the hard part, I'm always afraid to over rev the engine when RPM Matching before I down shift. I try not to get that high in the Revs when I can help it and I get antsy that I'll lose too much momentum at the same time.

These failures my own.

I have one A that lives exclusively in the flats (RPU), and another that lives in the mountains(coupe). They are both very different. The coupe is very much "tighter", shifter, suspension, steering etc and is very much harder to driver. Especially getting up the steep country roads.
