Ok Im used to driving stick shift but my current Celica is an Auto. well my friends and dad are telling me that driving in city driving with the Over Drive on is bad for the car? And that i should only turn it on over 50mph? im still unsure about this as other friends of mine always drive with their Over Drive on. Does anyone know for sure about this?

personally....i kick it off when i know i'm going to go from cruising to passing someone, as passing in 3rd gear is much more enjoyable than passing in 4th or beginning to pass and then having the trans downshift on me. i also turn it off when ascending or descending steep grades and when driving on very slick roads, such as ice and snow. the reason for that is because i dont want an unexpected up or down shift while i'm concentrating on the road.
