I'm not sure I've driven a car without one, but I guess there may be ones out there without one. What are they for...as in what good are they in a 1.6 pretty gutless diesel van like mine? I can understand their use in a high performance motor where you want to change gear at a specific point. Mine has a red zone that if I was approaching being in it, I shouldn't be even be driving the thing anyway...given the engine noise would be ear splitting.

Am I missing something hugely obvious that will make driving a van a whole lot more fun? Couldn't we have a more useful dial in there?
