Like 0-60 is around 8 seconds. I get like 20mpg on the streets if i'm trying, bc normally i get like 18 bc it's fun to be loud.Anyway I'm not worried about mpgs i'm worried about traffic. The involvement that comes with stick interests me a lot, it's boring to just press down on the gas. I want to feel the car, be the car, forget the car's ECUs out. i've driven stick like twice and getting it into first hurts but i'm ok w everything else. my friend drives a stick mini cooper s and has offered to tutor me further --- End quote --- thats more of a powerplant issue. CVTs are special because they can keep the RPMs in the the sweet spot for either performance or efficiency no matter what speed the vehicle is going, of course depending on the car's programming. idk too much about them but "engineering explained" and "learn engineering" on youtube have great vids on CVTs anyways driving a manual in traffic isn't that painful unless you regularly deal with bumper-to-bumper traffic between 0-30 mph. it helps a lot to practice rev-match downshifting. if you don't care about driving, then get the auto. who cares about appearances |
