Yeah I know *shrugs*

must be something to do with the different emission gear our engines have and how it is measured, as per the ADR.

I would expect the torquier 2.4 motor to do better than the 2.0... The benchmark here has been two litre motors.

Manual for me. My first car was an auto Datsun 120Y....... drove it for about 6 months and then I fell in love with a manual mustang-style Celica. So I sold the Datsun and bought a car I couldn't drive - but I learnt quick enough!! That was back in 1988. I've been driving manuals ever since!

Love my manuals!!
I like to drive the car and feel what its doing
Accelerate and de-ccelerate with the box not just rely on the brakes.
I've owned both manuals & autos but dont like the car being in control 8)
Besides track days are so much fun with a manual!!!! LOL :lol:
