Those who use MANUMATIC
Always in manumatic...wanted an MT but clutch driving in the amount of traffice I drive through, just didn't work for me.
I also have a finicky bad back - so if I had to push that clutch in during an episode..I'd be grounded...

I always drive in the M mode I got a AT to compremise with my wife incase she needed to drive it to go somewhere but she hates the car and dont even like to ride in it! So someday soon I will be converting it into a 6MT!!

I gather from you that it's an improvment, but you failed to explain to me how, you are probably right but I still need further details please.
You can downshift when you want to w/ mm mode. Also it can downshift faster than you can w/ a stick.

Jeff: That wasn't really my question, you should read my first post on this thread on page 2 first....
My question is about the difference in the MM between a 2003 5AT sedan and my 2005 sedan....
The 05+ autos have a superior shift program than the 03s. The upshifts are faster, the downshifts are faster (ie.. when you step on the gas xx amount) and of course the better rev matching.
I could tell right away when I drove the 05 as a loaner.

I do agree that the upshift and generally flooring it on my '05 is faster than the '03, but I found that downshifting on the '03 was more responsive.
That's the only thing, other than I do acknowledge that the '05 has a big improvment acceleration and upshift wise..
