I'm in SoCal with an '10 PP1 and the A10, and have never heard anything like that, as far as I can tell from your description. Never heard anything that sounded odd or out of the ordinary.
Agreed. I probably would have gotten the manual if the Tremec had been available with the '18 GT PP1 when I bought it, but it wasn't, and the A10 seemed be well received, so I got it. So far, I have not been disappointed - best auto I've ever driven, and really not much like other autos I've...
Yes, he did say "foreign sales" but I figured Europe was the only market large enough to make Ford set something up like that, but I could be wrong. Also, the vibe I was getting from other things I'd read was that Ford was trying to make a performance edition that they could sell in Europe...
I know that Ford didn't really intend the Mach 1 to be a GT350 replacement, but I've seen several articles that say it is by default, since it sort of fills the space between the GTs and the GT500, so he's not alone in that feeling, fair or not.
And he actually said good things about the A10...
This is not exactly a review, and the overall tone seems a bit negative, but when reading the analysis of the car itself, it's all pretty positive. Even about the A10, even though, like many, the recommendation is for the Tremec manual. I was particularly surprised by the comments about...
You must have the same or very similar fridge to mine. However, I have my fridge set to maximum cool, so it has four bars on the right, so I never made the Mustang connection.
There are other parts of your replies I could respond to, but I think this might be the most efficient way to get some insights: for what reasons WOULD you begrudge someone else's transmission choice?
You've brought this up before, and I am curious about what it is you're trying to accomplish by posting that, and everything else that you do here.
Do you want to convince people to buy a manual instead of an automatic, so that you can keep your manual? Is your expectation that because you...
Have I ever? Yes. Have I ever had that happen with the A10? Not that I recall. I have either noticed how well it downshifted when entering the corner and how it held the gear the way I thought it should, or I had it in manual mode, where it wouldn't do that.
Well, there are pro drivers that...
OK, let's explore that.
Someone posted (emphasis added by me):
To which you responded:
That doesn't sound like an "I don't like" post to me, it sounds like you're telling someone else that they are wrong about their feeling regarding their performance driving in their car, and even...
There seems to be a real disconnect here between what I'm saying and what you're interpreting. I don't care what you like, I don't care if people like autos or not, I am not a die-hard auto fan. I am not making pro-AT arguments, I'm just saying that I think you are misrepresenting the behavior...
Well, multiple professional drivers never seemed to have complained about that, as far as I have seen, and most say that the A10 picks the right gear at the right time. I also suspect that with 10 gears, the impact of a gear change is less disruptive.
Additionally, as has been stated many...
I had a '14 with the MT-82 and I never had an issue with it, but for 2018 the 1st and 2nd gears changed and just didn't seem to be as good of a fit. I had multiple reasons for getting the auto in my '18, and that was one of them. I also just like the A10, and after shifting gears for 30 years...
