I drove the auto behind an XT falcon yesterday (bog stocker) and it's a damn sight better than the other auto's around, even the mitsu "sports" auto. BUT... It's still an auto. It still bumps and grinds... still doesn't change fast enough... still doesn't have the control or feel of a manual... So, the order stays for a manual, I think the consensus is clear... it's more fun that way! BTW - I AM very impressed with the handling of even the base falcon - took it up Mount Ainslie (for you canberrans round here) and without trying was doing it 20km/hr faster than is actually possible in my current XR6... pulling 120km/hr round corners up a hill with the blunnie planted and the car stayed flat and felt really well balanced, considering it's 1650 kilos of car it's pretty amazing. Can't wait to get my new toy! Thanks for all the opinions - helped calm the little devil-on-the-shoulder... cheers -nick [Report message to a moderator]
