It sounds strange.

I always use the car in manual mode (except in the FULL FULL rush hour) and i'm able to hit 7000 RPM, without problems.

Probably it is useless, since power delivery drops after 6000 RPM, but if i want to insist, the car does NOT shift for me @ 5500-6000 when in manual mode. Never.

Check the display. Real manual mode is "M"; M1, M2, etc... Do not confund with "sport mode", labeled by "S", S1, S2, etc...
