The **** is just okay, nothing I'd sell to anyone. Better off ordering a new one.

I just don't see how people love these cars with automatics. I damn near fall asleep in even some of the quickest auto's. Too boring.

Too each their own I reckon. I'll break 200 T-56's before I buy 1 automatic car

I don't like autos because they don't help you at all when wanting to drive aggressively around turns.... the autos just let you slide right off into the weeds, no throttle correction...

And then when you give it too much gas while going around a turn and it kicks down a gear during the apex...

Screw that!
