Old paradigm..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Thu, 6 Apr 2006 16:41:47 In Reply to: Re: do you like the manual tranny?, phillymb75, Thu, 6 Apr 2006 11:28:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm not saying it isn't the correct one in your case, but most folks haven't given a slapshift six speed auto a fair test, which of course must include some bumper to bumper traffic....
There used to be no need to drive an automatic Saab, or any automatic European car, as the autos were horrid particularly when combined with smaller European engines, but it's a whole new world out there with internet, HDTV and really decent automatics that'll make a die hard stick shift fella' smile. Lotsa' turbo torque, lotsa' gears and some have overdrive and lock up torque converters, lotsa' shifting stratagies like paddle and slap shifters, lotsa' die hard manual folks kept satisfied.
Do try one sometime and report back.
