Thanks for the info; this is helpful. Right now, I'm just putting the shifter into the + - gate (from regular D), and letting the transmission do the work.
 
How would the + - manual mode benefit, and under what driving conditions?

We leave my wife's '09 Forester XT in Sport Mode. It shifts higher up in the RPM band, and thus, the car feels far more responsive. It feels a whole lot more "sporty", that's for sure!
