I drive in Manual Mode about 80-90% of the time. I like shifting and this mostly keeps me out of the gravity well of the torque dip.

When I first got the car, I fiddled with the VSC and traction...

I commute to work through one of the oldest, richest neighborhoods in town (from where I live, which is NOT). There's a stop sign on every corner for four miles. I drive to work, then home for lunch,...

You think you like a manual better, but you're mistaken. The science is in, and it proves Automatics are better. You can't argue with science.

It's because automatics are better. There's absolutely no use for a clutch in a modern car. The only people who drive manuals are overcompensating for something.

I figured the rags would have it featured tomorrow, then Jalopnik would come along the next day to whitewash it and provide a hint of authenticity. Isn't that how it works?

Well, it's been fun chaps, but I'm off the the Tacoma forum. From what I understand, it's basically a supercar in mid-sized truck trim. Gotta get me one.

This thread has more words per post than I think I've ever seen here.

Anyway, I've changed my mind. The MX-5 is not for you. You need a Camaro SS or ZL1. They have no torque dip.

Yet another reason I love my 86. It's about the least techy car you can buy today, and I like it that way. I pray the next gen does not have automatic braking (but I fear it will).
