Anyone?  |
yes there are videos of it, browse the video section or do a search on the forums, the shifts a crisp and clean, on some surfaces the auto chirps 2 and third gears, but from what i see the up shifts and down shifts are crisp and clean. its a good auto, you wont be unsatisfied with the results
i sell cars for a living/soon to be in the military, ive driven every type of car out there auto and manual, most cars in the 25k range with a auto mostly suck, toyota and subaru have revised this and made sure the auto didnt take away from the driving pleasure, shift programming from the ISF placed in a IS250 tranny that's redesigned for the 86 is what you are getting, no additional parasitic loss due to the locking torque converter over the manual, in theory the auto and manual should see identical dyno numbers, if you go the auto route you can get a higher stall locking torque converter for better launches
this car has been in 7 years of development, i wouldnt worry which transmission you get, just do what suits you best
and remember a test drive will sort out any questions you have
