Title: Auto FD3\'s
Post by: Jenks01 on May 16, 2005, 10:54:41 PM
Just wondering what automatic FD3\'s are like?

Is the fuel consumption a lot worse than manual ones? Plus how much does the performance suffer? also do the turbos surprise you even more when they kick in?

Just wondering

i drove an auto when i test drove an rex .. and it is i suppose just like an Auto box .. a slight delay in power as the auto decides what gear to put you in etc ... not sure on power loss ... but a manual will be faster as it is more responsive .. i assume .

Hi i have an FD auto and i must say its fast enough for me but i agree with Sy a manual would be quicker. As for fuel economy well its a performance car  so its not the best but who cares when you are driving such a wonderfull car.
