How many people like their auto tC? I personally would like to trade mine for a manual...do people feel like the opposite? maunal for an auto??

 

i love my 5 spd... would NOT trade for an auto... make the tC way more fun!!!!

 

pfft....auto..
Sorry but I like to drive my car...not ride in it.

 

manual >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> auto

 

if your stuck in gridlock in the am/pm an auto is a legsaver, but a manual is much more exciting and fun to drive.

 

5spd is funner!!! tho i have an auto... if u want speed.. go manual.. if u want leisure.. go auto!

 

Manual.

 

Could you elaborate on that some?

 

what happened to your tranny?

 

how much would it cost to convert to a manual?????

 

a couple thousands...yeah but I would like a manual as well. But for now, I am stuck with what i got so i'm making the best of it.

 

If you're talking to me,
Who knows. I hit the curb at 40mph and screwed up a lot of things. Everything has been repaired, and it rolls, but it pulls to the right hard, and there's severe road noise. This is what a dealer told us, but we had it fixed locally, and the owner of that shop refuses to let them fix it, because he thinks it's not the transmission. It's getting on my nerves. My car is currently at a dealer again.

 

from what i gather he's just saying he'd rather drive the car, and not have the car drive you.

 

WERD

 

I could elaborate, but instead I will tell you that when you understand...you will know.

 

My tC is the first car I ever drove that wasn't an auto. I can never go back. I drive my gf's automatic Corolla every now and then...and not having power when I want it drives me absolutely crazy.

 

you might as well buy a civic or corolla if you want an auto... your wasteing your money as it takes 95% of the sportiness out of the car, not to mention added weight... more money... and more things to go wrong

 

go with a manual....theres no better feeling when you've put your first bolt on, rev your engine, and have that great "race car" sound......plus with a manual, you have much more control (ie braking, gearing down, handling, drifting, etc)....and even in traffic its not that much of a hassle, as long as you love your car, then a manual is the way to go.....to do a tranny swap....you first need to find a tranny that would fit.....i know guy here in so cal, that would do the labor for a little over a thousand....and a good tranny would run a little under a thousand....

 

I been driving automatics till this week, picked up my tc on monday and manual is the only way to go for me now.

 

manual tCs = quite a bit quicker and sportier than auto tCs.. stock of course.
