Assuming Grand has the same engine and similar gear ratio, I can speak about the crappy experience on 1/2 gear. If I am stuck in a slow moving traffic, handling the car is a pain as both the first and second gear are unsuitable for driving at low speeds. First gear is not suitable for driving at slow speed. Second gear is not suitable for starting from standstill. Becomes a nightmare to keep shifting between 1 & 2 just to start and slide the car through the traffic.
