I don't understand why someone would be in 7th gear at 45 mph. That's 5th (or maybe 6th) gear territory.

Anyway, the simple answer for the OP is: You can leave it in D and use the paddles to downshift quickly at need while staying in D.

The ECU allows this, and switches back from M to D after a few seconds.

That is the fastest way to drop a cog or two while remaining in D. Mashing the pedal is much slower.

In D, the car shifts into 7th at 42-43, so maybe if you were cruising then an arse popped out and you needed to gun it around them, that's my scenario

Really? Hm. I'll have to test that out. I've pushed it over to M at that speed and I could swear it goes to 5th, suggesting it was no higher than 6th in D, but I'll take your word on it.

It always downshifts to 5th when you switch it over. But the car will engage 7th at 42-43 if you're on a flat piece of land or just not stressing the car
