The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XIII

b15

If I lived in a less congested area, I wouldn't mind an MT as a DD. AT just makes more sense when my average speed is 16mph

I hear you... Most days it's slow but steady and I'm OK. I really didn't mind the auto when the traffic got bad but it was a really boring car.

I guess a funner, sportier car with an auto wouldn't be too bad as a DD.

Yeah it's not so much the MT that bothers me, it's the idiot AT drivers that don't understand proper vehicle spacing and accelerate for 5ft then hit their brakes repeatedly. When I'm in the Z and stuck in traffic, I generally like to be around the semi's because they get it. I just stick it in 2nd and coast.

That's exactly what I do.

as a car to motor in, i do hate it.
as a sofa that moves, i dont really care.

but i hear the new IS350 is pretty wicked..and i like the shape.
i wouldnt mind going to work everyday in that, and take it out for
weekend strolls for sightseeing.


i only drive MT cars. my fit's clutch is so light it's easier to drive that vs
my AT fit cause i dont have to keep pressing on the brake due to the creep.

i want to try that abarth... should be fun as hell to drive that tiny
thing with that nice exhaust growl and MT. but no sense of comfort.
the suspension stroke is short so riding bumpstops often if lowered...and
im definitely lowering it if i get it.
