hahahaha...hold your horses gentleman hold emm hold emm.
thing under consideration=altis.
ask khurram_aziz at pw he has recently bought an a.t altis,he said by himself acceleration sucks as compared to manual.
that was just a vague comparison i.e belta,vitz etc just because to elaborate the verdict ''ease'' simply.
who said you at's are supposed to be slow?
why th hell companies make at's then?and put against their m.t's?do they like to be the target of automotive media's questions?well i highly disagree.
the thing i mentioned that i found a.t. ''altis'' slow because of its poor tranny,4speed,poorly synchronized.
no match with m.t when it comes to drags,highway runs,fuel average etc,
only thing it has got an edge at is ''ease'' that too dissapoints when it has made ''altis'' freakin slow as compared to 6speed manual.
hmmmmm.....make it a healthy argument chap,you have spent your bucks on a.t ive spent mine at m.t.
i gave a laymen's comment at first post coz i found your first post quite basic.
you want comparison over facts?i'm open.
yes a.t has advantge of cruisecontrol that's too a driving''AID'' yes i dont say its somthing bad to have but still dsnt gives enough to a.t that outweigh's m.t ''6speed''.
summary is that.
a.t=ease.
m.t=pick,acceleration,fuel economy,responds well when the time is to show some ego;).
no no no...nothing to get disappointed at chap,keep it healthy.
