Message	But in NYC traffic, I would simply hate dealing with a manual. The stop and go with a stick & clutch would drive me crazy. And yes, there is no control. But I've learned to control revs with careful throttle pressure and timely use of overdrive off and on switch. So I am able to simulate down shifting very close to a stick. And then at the dragstrip, there's just no contest. Auto's kick ass. Idiot proof and super consistent. And you don't look like a fool spinning all through 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. Now if we only had tip-tronic with paddle shifers, then I would be in heaven. For now, the tip-tronic in my MINI keeps me happy. -Arnel Z32racing.com/Z32R.com - Site last updated 8/16/2004.
