senna Donating Members 32 Member For: 19y 2m 22d Posted 22/08/11 01:38 PM Share Posted 22/08/11 01:38 PM I had a bf xr6t with a few mods in manual and loved it. I bought a brand spanking needy f6 early 2010, but was looking at a 6 month wait for the manual, so I got the auto. As autos go, it's not bad, though hasn't got a patch on a decent clutchless manual like my wife's golf gti with the dsg. I find it hard to fall in love with an auto, you just don't get the connection Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75308-pondering-a-fg-f6/page/2/#findComment-1135377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't comment on the FG F6 comparison (only driven auto), but I would guess the same theory would apply - manual more fun, but slower in reality as a person simply can't shift as fast as a computer these days - each to their own I guess.

Purely personal preference and circumstances for some also (I struggle with manuals these days due to my left knee issues/pain, so my manual days are probably over whether I prefer them or not!!)
