AgentTwitch Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I really hate this icon. hahaha... I drive a manual transmission 4-banger Toyota 4x4 pickup. Wouldn't trade it for the world. By that, I mean, I wouldn't trade it unless I was getting another standard with 6cyl. by Toyota. Here in the Tropics of Maine, if you dont have 4 wheel drive; you dont get out of you driveway this time of year. And if you drive an automatic, its because "they didnt have this model with manual transmission at the dealer!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 6 speeds are almost point-less because so many cars are electronically limited so low that you can reach your top speed in 5th gear. Think you're missing the point there little canuk. Six speed means that you can have a closer ratio gearbox. I've got 6 speed on the bike and a very very close ratio box. You learn something new every day: I thought that most of you Americans prefered autos, but it seems that you don't really . Keep your eye out for dual cluth semi autos , Ricardo (engine geezers) reckon that they will make up about 60% of all new gear boxes by 2010.

fidgec94 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Manual is the way to go for me....but with the price of petrol these days, im thinking about cutting my loses and walking eveywhere! I remember the days when the idea of going from about 49p/litre to 50p/litre was crazy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobbo Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 i was about to mention semi autos! ever since i drove one ill never really appreciate a regular manual. its an auto, but you have control of when it shifts =D custom made and bought by a friend of mine, he put it in his 68 falcon with a 427 cobra jet. im all about autos though, because i like to drive big boats that are comfortable!

FajiiNako Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I like my 99 Sentra. Its a fun car to drive, but not so fun for snow... i mean, ya the front wheel drive is good if you're stuck and the front wheels are touching the ground, but chances are that you'll have stuff in the back, and the front wheels won't be touching... so ya that sucked quite a few times on the way to college >.< But anyway, it warms up nice and fast, gets about 400 miles on its 10 gal tank, and doesn't cost much to keep maintained ^.^ Now if i could only find a way to get perminant all wheel drive in it.
