However... then I read a review specifically of the automatic... I think MT or C&D renamed it to the autotragic. I mean ouch, the auto is really, really bad.

My question is, what would I be able to do to fix it? Yeah it will be her car, but what is the point of owning one if I can't have fun with it too lol. I assume this is a tall gearing issue? What about sharpening her up in general with a tune?

If you like the car and don't want the auto....buy the 6 speed. It's brilliant.
