i have had the auto drop beneath 2200 before without downshifting... this area has many 55 mph back roads, so i travel around 65 (likely less considering our speedos seem to always read high) but this puts my car in 5th gear and as i aproach a turn and slow to a lower speed it takes a very low speed for the car to shift down into 4th . I have to commemorate our cars for having such great low end tourque though because the car can always pull away easy even when in low rpm. Also the auto never uses 1rst gear which i found odd at first, but 1rst gear is so short that it makes sense.
