I test drove an A/T about a month ago. Great paddle shifters, way snappier in changing gears than the ones on my sonata for sure. But that's a poor comparison. My bad. The car is just as much fun with the A/T as it is with the M/T trannies.

Autoguide and Moto-P from our forums are biggest deal makers for me. Both recommended the A/T to be just as good as the other. I will suggest you try the automatic for yourself too.

Go to Festival City showroom. Meet with my sales guy. His name is Aftab (reception should guide you to his seat) and request him for a test drive. Tell him Imtiaz sent you, which isn't a guarantee he'd let you drive one but hey who knows, maybe he will

No harm in trying! You will be pleased to know that I chose an A/T over M/T for many reasons including the wife and the BRZ interior. Not to mention the awful daily bumper to bumper commute Dubai is popular for amongst us residents.

Thats awesome Imtiaz! Will surely chk out the festival city showroom. Will be going there next week. They have my contact for the test drive but will try again personally. My main reason for the 86 is that im kinda bored of my fortuner and find it criminal to drive a suv daily to work alone (just looking for an excuse to convince myself that i ll save petrol be eco friendly)
Lets hope your ride arrives soon! Keep us updated!

for the video!
