Now thats assuming you go manual for performance. Anyone going to go stick regardless?
Cool! How did that process go? Did it take a deposit?
There are other reviews that strongly recommend the Manual.
There are other reviews that strongly recommend the manual....such as MotoMan.
Great! Wish I would hear from more dealers in my area. One dealer was totally clueless on delivery when I visited.
yea..i was asking couple toyota dealership since begining of July..and loop them that my interest of the car...when toward to the end of the month..the salesman need quotes for their work...receive lots more emails from them more on the end of the month then the begining of the month.
that's awesome.. keep us inform about the process
Too bad for you, you don't know what you're missing. I taught all 3 of my daughters to drive a manual and they all love it. They all 3 own a manual Toyota and think that an auto is just plain boring to drive. And they are right!
That's why my wife has her Prius with a CVT and RAV4 with an auto. She doesn't need to drive my iM with a 6MT although she knows how. She leaves my cars alone. You just need to get your wife a car of her own!
Not even close. There are several different videos showing the manual is much quicker then the CVT. I've seen around 10 sec 0-60 for the CVT and 8.5 for the 6-speed manual. I bought the 6MT and it's a lot more fun to drive then the CVT. I test drove the CVT but it was a lot slower off the line than the 6MT.
Several videos show the Auto is actually quicker
XD first of all SuperchargedMR2 can I just say I love everything about what you've said in this thread, I bought my iM specifically because it was a manual, I would not have even considered it had it been CVT. My other car is an automatic until I swap it to a manual, (unfortunately it's a Subaru, so I have to swap the transmission, driveshaft, rear differential, ECU, pedal box, and brake hydraulics but that's another story) my wife and I argue over who gets to drive the iM, I used to own a 5 speed Integra that was slammed, and she drove it flawlessly. If you're worried about your wife needing to drive it, teach her how to drive it (it also functions as it's own anti theft). SAVE THE MANUALS!Too bad for you, you don't know what you're missing. I taught all 3 of my daughters to drive a manual and they all love it. They all 3 own a manual Toyota and think that an auto is just plain boring to drive. And they are right!
You need to do more research. There are videos all over You Tube that show reviews stating that the manual is quicker and even some side by side videos with both cars being driven by both drivers and the manual being much quicker then the CVT. I've driven both and it's very obvious from driving them too.
I'm not worried about my wife driving my cars. We own 7 cars so she doesn't do it because she says if something were happen while she was driving it she would feel so bad. She knows how much I work on my cars and love my 1989 Supercharged MR2, 2009 Corolla S Turbo and 2017 Corolla iM.
