Shift the AT by hand based on the sound of the engine. You'll enjoy the drive.

The AT like to stay in third all the way through a turn and then feels like it's bogging. I shift to 2nd and then can pull away with alot of high rev zip.

I drive a lot with the SC turned off to get better gas milage and manually shifting the AT keeps it fun.

Isn't that going to force-grind your gears.

I mess with D and 3rd alot, but shifting an automatic or in this case - manumatic. Is only suggestions to the computer not precise shifting you can keep it to high rpms.
