I pick it up this afternoon…traded in my Escape…
265hp 3.5…basically everything but leather and navi.
i know i know…its auto…but it is my DD…though the 6sp would have been fun…just HARD to find.
This car was alot nicer than i expected plus it definately gets out of its own way…aaaaaand it is the first “import” i’ve ever owned…i cant wait!
sometimes one doesnt want to shift, they just want to ride in comfort, being my DD, thats what i wanted. if i want a manual, I drive the mustang. Besides…i dont pick the new one up until this afternoon.
I can understand the auto for a DD. There’s nothing more unpleasent than getting stuck in traffic with a manual. Although your left calf muscle will get big and strong overtime, you end up looking like a freak when its twice the size of your right calf.
lol…i know, i saw that yesterday when i first got in it…im like ummm…cassettes? wtf? lol but it still has the cd player…that will all change soon enough…
i love shifting, but ive always had an auto DD…we do alot of road trips etc…its just better for us. that way…though like i said, had we seen a 6 sp, it would have been hard to turn down. there is only like 5 of these used in all of wny…
ehhh…thats always how it happens. i got it for a good price though…having a pending deal with mike barney helped alot…all in all, it was stickered for $23k…i got it for around $13k wih my trade.
edit: i tend to look for the clutch pedal as well…
