Yes, I'm happy with mine.

What do you mean by... what're they like? It's fun to drive an auto... simply because:

1) You don't need to %(@&%@ clutch control at every traffic light on a slope

2) You can parallel park easily on a slope

3) Touch your girlfriend while driving

4) You can just release the brake and apply it again when the darn car in front keeps inching forward a few centimeters every few seconds at the lights

4) Not worry about shifting gears in launches

5) Get consistent times

Sometimes i want a manual simply because:

1) I want to control the shifting for controllability, predictability and the sound from the engine rev and BOV

2) The darn auto only has 4 gears. When you're cruising at around 100km/h, the engine rpm will be about 2500 to 3000, which is not exactly fuel saving and the sound is deafening sometimes

The only bad thing about auto for me so far is...

1) Gear shifts are slower than manual

2) You can't put an aftermarket ECU and you have to rely on piggyback systems, which is no longer an issue ever sine Apexi phased out their PowerFC and introduced the P-NBC as its successor, which is too late as i had already installed the AFC Neo. *sigh*

thanks dude ^^

lol @ 3

hmm ok cool cool. so i guess the auto works if you just wanna use the car as a cruiser that has some balls and maybe give it a squirt every now and then yea

Yup, that's how i feel. However, some do prefer autos for drags because of the consistent lap times they can get. Personally, i do too. It's just up to personal preference.

I love my Skyline. My girlfriend loves my Skyline too. Other people comment on it quiet often... anyway its a great, sexy, zippy car with enough room for even tall guys.

My car is stock atm, but I just bought a turbo back zorst so that should make it even more fun to drive.

As for auto, the box is great, its responsive and smooth. I like it because it lets me cruise comfy and have my left hadn to do what I please

Its very easy to launch too.

I couldnt care less about a manual gearbox.

You will love it.
