You know, that was one thing I was just talking to my friend about. I am very surprised how well the "automatic" emulates an old fashioned stick. I love the way the car will rev down as I slow down to take a turn. It sounds amazing around 1k rpms. The car doesnt start to downshift unless ur near a complete stop, It sometimes gives that lunge/gonna-stall feel. Its obvious that the car isnt gonna stall, but i feel like it is emulating the feel of a manual very well. and when you do have it in manual mode. the computer doesnt do anything for you.

Bottom line is, I love it so far.

I'm not sure if everything i just said will make sense to everyone, but if you have anymore questions abouts it, just ask and ill try to answer.

Makes me wanna' buy a X MR right away.....But than again, my IX MR is just so addictive to me. I find so much pleasure by driving my IX MR. I shouldn't say this, but it feels like I'm on very strong "crack" when I'm near my Evo.....Sorry to offend anyone, but it's the truth. hahaha

Yep, that would be because it is a manual. An automated manual, 2 computer controlled clutches with no clutch pedal, but a manual none the less. Beautiful looking car man and +1 on the contrast adding the black hood vents

Enjoy her!!
