Subject: Re: 9000 CS vs. Aero...what's the difference?


Well, I know my way around the stuff I've worked on--admittingly not a lot of things. Most of it came from necessity. I've been told that I am the worst victim of "bad" mechanics ever, LOL. I've gotten to where I don't trust any mechanics to do work, so I must learn it myself. I agree about the 5-speed vs. automatic debate. Although, my main reasoning for choosing a 5-speed over an automatic is purely maintenance related--I'd rather have to replace the clutch than rebuild an auto trans. ~jp Nasty Bob wrote: > Jon - sounds like you know your way round a car better than me :) > > > > > > Should I shoot for the automatic Aero? > > > NO! > > > Why?!
