The 6 now has a "sport automatic" transaxle with six speeds and a manual mode! I tried the manual mode in the 3's five speed tranny, and unlike most auto-stick designs, it rules. I'd say this tranny is the single biggest improvement over what we could get with Contours. There's a six speed stick for the 6, too. (Hey, I made a tongue twister.)


. . . Two zetec Contours, two blown head gaskets... for some reason I have a Japanese car now. anybody in California want a Diehard Gold 100 month battery? inquire by PM.
