i drive a 2008 honda civic sedan LX automatic. i notice that my cars stalls to accelerate. i'm sure this is a common prob for this car since it's 4cl and this is probably a dumb question. it stalls usually when i drive it on D. yesterday i drove it on D3 and i notice that it allowed me to maneuver and accelerate quicker. i was wondering if this would exhaust my engine since i drive 60-75 on da highway. should i down shift going faster or switch to 2nd? i've never driven an manual car before.

I am assuming that you should not use D3 if you are driving at a speed of 60 up.

not safe to go on 2nd with automatic up in the highway at 60
cars nowadays will shut off if u down shift
older cars
the tranny will crap in ur face
isnt the new honda civic are like 5 speed automatic
have it check out at the dealer if it keep stalling
