Never having needed it, I wasn't familiar with it. Makes me wonder why you know so much about it.... 😂🤣😆✌🤓🧐😎

Manual Owners: "Hey Honey, I'm sorry I wasn't able to satisfy you last night. Again. But I can drive a manual, so I'm going online to talk about it so I can still feel like a man." 🤣

LOL, nice job on finding about the only negative thing he said about it. He also said that the 10 speeds allowed the engine to stay in the power band, keeping performance up, so it's a trade-off.

I think the cars were different enough that I don't know that the comparison is that meaningful, but for one perspective, here's what a pro driver, Randy Pobst, says about the 10-speed on track with the Mach 1:

Again, I'm not trying to sell you on getting an AT, I'm just saying people should not criticize behavior of which they have no first-hand knowledge. Like saying that the rev-matching is because of the locking of the torque converter, when it probably isn't, or saying that it will upshift on its...

Hi jblue, I am not sure if every trim level and option setup has every drive mode, but my GT Premium with PP1 and the A10 has all of those modes. On mine, Normal is with everything set to, well, Normal. Sport is with just the auto set to Sport mode (S on the shifter) but no other settings...

Well, let's be honest here - based on your postings, I'm pretty sure you would not be happy with anything other than an H-gate and a clutch, so everything else you don't like seems like a waste of time to mention. And when people say "The automatic does this..." when it really doesn't, it gives...

But with no-lift-shift, you could keep your foot on the gas and *still* be driving it just like a manual :)

Then don't get one. I know, manuals are on their way out, but there will be used vehicles for a while, and new manuals are still being made, so it's not like you won't be able to get one next week, or next year.

I'm not sure about that, as I think it only does that in S mode.

Well, again, the only time the A10 will downshift is if the engine is about to die. If you would normally downshift before, say, 1200 RPM, then you probably wouldn't have to worry about it downshifting on its own. Spacing out is just something that would have to go away over time. I did that...

Maybe you are just not familiar with it? I am not sure based on the information in your post. If you put it in S, and then manually shift with a paddle, it is in manual mode and will not upshift automatically after that. To take it out of manual shift, you hold the upshift paddle for 2 seconds...

OK, just have to step in and say that this is completely inaccurate for the A10. As far as I know, it will not upshift in manual mode no matter what. It will downshift to keep the engine from dying, but it will never upshift, even at redline.

The A10 seems to be different for different people, and my best guess is that it's because of the "learning" routines. For me, in Normal mode, it is barely perceptible - gear changes are smooth and it seems to be in the right gear at the right time unless there is a sudden change, as in hitting...

I think if you look, though, the auto-owners' comments are usually in response to a post from a manual owner telling them they made a mistake. The auto owners rarely start a thread condemning manual owners.

OK, I guess my confusion came in because you specifically quoted and responded to the part of my post that said " It seems like the only people who care what other people drive is manual owners." Give that, I assumed you were addressing why you cared what other people drive. I chose a 10-speed...

So, you're saying that because *YOU* want to drive a manual transmission that *I* should buy one?

It seems like the only people who care what other people drive is manual owners. Auto drivers before the purchase: Look at options, decide an auto best meets their needs. Auto drivers after the purchase: Drive their cars Manual drivers before the purchase. MUST GET A MANUAL Manual drivers...

A friend of mine is buying a Tesla, and this is pretty much how they work. They only have a few models, and most of the options are in software, so it's easier to only have a few cars and still provide test drives than from a company like Ford. They were laid back, easy to deal with, but my...

Interesting. I ended up ordering my Mustang, and it took about 3 months to get, but I was happy to get it exactly the way I wanted. I wonder what this will do for pricing. I got a better price on my previous Mustang because it had been on the lot for a while and they wanted to move it...
