There's a new addition to the evo fast fleet this month: an MY19 GT fastback. Initial impressions are very positive apart from negative comments about the A10 box he doesn't have in his car!

I love my A10 box ! Smooth, responsive, a perfect auto. I genuinely think a lot of the moans about auto boxes are from people who can't control the throttle pedal - you know the sort who are always speeding up and slowing down. No wonder the box can't decide which gear it needs. I am 100% happy with my A10 and it never changes gear unexpectedly.

Totally agree. Even by evo standards, this month's issue is very pro-manual and auto-is-the-spawn-of-Satan so maybe Towler is just being "on message". I think the A10 is pretty good, certainly at least on a par with the ZF 8-speed in my wife's BM and the Merc 7-speed in her previous cars.

Thought it was quite a good article - and good to see a great magazine like EVO keeping the Mustang story going with a long term test car.
As an aside, I am quite happy with my Auto - even if it is only a 6 speed..!
