I think I'll live to see the day when manual transmissions are a thing of the past.




sadly.

Take the 5 sp auto in the Mazda 6. What a brilliant transmission, it shifts unlike any other car I have been in, you can hardly feel it shift, even at WOT, and its got 4 gears and an over drive, just like every other modern day 5 speed manual. it shifts right when I would shift in a 5 speed. Its basically a 5 speed manual without the 3rd pedal...




Drive it back to back with a 5-speed manual Mazda6 and youll realize how much it actually sucks. The auto car is much more sluggish.
