Or people who like to actually be in control of their cars. Automatics are sloppy. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 04/01/2010 11:13:17 PM
I have yet to drive an automatic that gives me nearly as much control as my ancient manual Camry.

Acceleration is useless in automatics. I don't know why people even try to argue this. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 06:11:00 AM 430 Views
I don't understand why its useless in automatics. I accelerate just fine. callandor1000 - 05/01/2010 06:31:33 AM 575 Views
As I said before, its a question of preferring control, not of "needing" it. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 08:10:15 AM 425 Views
