The big thing that turned me off the manual was driveline shunt. If your going to buy a manual theres a fair chance your going to end up with it.

There arent too many times that im lucky enough to line someone up at a set of lights. On the go is a diffrent story and also evens the game up as the autos big advantage is gone.and agree again... buy what you like, not what some1 else does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil F6 Donating Members 830 Member For: 18y 10m 15d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/01/06 02:34 AM Share Posted 30/01/06 02:34 AM I'm a manual man through and through but IF the reports by MOTOR and WHEELS on their trips in the new 6spd Auto phoons in the Vic Alps are true, I'm defintely going to test one out; but I'll be demanding a drive along the old pacific hwy to see how it behaves. I would only consider an auto on a turbo anyway. On a NA car it is always manual. Of course why we can't get an affordable sequential manual in an Aussie car is upsetting, as this is the ultimate IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
