Title: I will never buy a car with an auto transmission again...
Post by: soundifound on April 21, 2002, 09:38:03 AM

Damn, manual so much more fun than automatic.  I just started driving a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3(hatchback) with a stick shift and is it ever fun.  I encourage all of you who don\'t know how to drive a manual to learn, driving is actully fun.

Stick shift is not manual, that is semi automatic, just like tiptronic.

Stick shift is tiptronic (it is in Australia anyway). Manuals have a clutch.
