gaijin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 If you use the auto box correctly,you will be totally happy with it.After more than 3 years of driving i have never been in a situation where i wished i was in a manual,including,erm,'spirited' driving.My previous car was a six speed Calibra Turbo,tuned to about 320 bhp and 310ft/lb and all that goes with it.The Supra destroys it,and it(the Calibra) was and still is an Evo(4-5) killer.If you're on a track,yes, a porridge stirrer would be of benefit.Most people don't use an auto box as it should be used.Think of it as limited manual,change down into 2nd for roundabouts for example,your exit will be very gratifying.Just use common sense,and the learning capability of the Supra box will not disappoint you.

Stonkin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Can agree with Gaijin, i find the autobox fantastic always. But, for me there are of course times i would love a manual. A topic that will never die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
