***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 1m 12d Gender: Male Posted 12/04/14 12:28 PM Share Posted 12/04/14 12:28 PM I also prefer manual transmissions and have owned turbo imports in the past.I bought a G6ET and haven't regret it at all, but sometimes I do wish it was a manual and if it was my only car I probably would convert it to manual, but the ZF is a lot better than other autos I've driven and works really well. It suits what I use the car for very well.I also own a VX Clubsport R8 that I bought as a family car but got bored of the auto so converted it to a 6-speed manual.If you think you might get bored of the auto I would test drive a G6ET and an XR50T then decide.In my opinion the pros and cons of the auto are:Pros-quick-smooth-very easy to driveCons-expensive to service-heat exchanger has a history of failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazuhiko Member 39 Member For: 10y 11m 12d Posted 14/04/14 04:05 AM Share Posted 14/04/14 04:05 AM I came from an fc rx7 and now have a FGT.I'll just put it this way. If mazda built a new turbo model of the rx7, I would drive my car into a lake, walk to mazda with the insurance money and hug the salesman before I drove out the dealer with my new ride.

I think they are one of the cheapest cars to service but that depends on where you go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
