Bakit walang MT na TOTL?

[alwayz_yummy]

MTs are fun to drive when you're driving for pleasure. I've been driving MTs for the longest time and then last year, I got an X-Trail. To be honest, I would have gotten an MT variant if it was available, but alas, only ATs are available. it was the very first AT vehicle I owned and drove on a daily basis. After using it to go to work for a month, I was converted. *lol* The covenience it gives me on Manila's traffic is so incalculable, and it didn't take long for me to adjust how to drive an AT for fun.

Majority of people buying TOTL cars are your typical mototrists who need to get from point A to point B with the least stress and aggravation, a very tough goal in our country's road conditions. They don't care about 0-100 kph numbers, nor do they care how the car performs when navigating a double apex, since they'll probably do it under 40 kph anyway. They definitely have no "one-with-the-car" philosophies. All they care about is that they're riding in comfort and in style.I'm planning to get a new car next year and, because it's probably gonna be an executive sedan, it's gonna be an automatic. Heck, I'll probably still get an automatic if I change my mind and get a coupe hehe!

The only way I'll get a manual is if I go crazy and decide to get a WRX STI, or a pickup that I'll haul off to real offroading jaunts. But then, these are fun driving stints, not daily driving chores

sa akin nga malakas na hatak at walang bitin ang AT 250x ko, siguro mas lalo pa ung qr25de-powered 5MT xtrail na dubai/aussie ver. 1 lang nakita kong xtrail na MT, and it has diplomat plate, sadly, it was flooded and it took months to find a replacement ecu...

kung di ko na natuluyaan nabenta tong xtrail, convert ko kaya to 5MT hehehe...

May nakalimitan tayo: "A real driver knows how to drive stick"

di nga bro? ganyan daw talaga kapag nasanay sa AT....

pero konting sultada lang yan bro....ok na shifting mo ng kambyo....

Pero seriously, if feasible, I would love to see an M/T 3.5Q V6 accord. :hysterical:

Current Accord in V6 has the designation of 3.5 SV. You must mean the Camry if you are referring to the 3.5Q designation?

[LeBRONghini6]

Marunong naman. Used to drive our GL Grandia D-4D M/T kapag walang gusto mag-drive. And our L300FB for business.

Yung Accent CRDi M/T na-drive ko rin, ang bilis

Pero yun nga, di ako bibili ng M/T kung hindi naman super cars. Kung ako lang naman. Hehe.

Kahit supercars naka paddle shift nadin for split second shifting

So 84% of Americans in the US aren't real drivers... makes me proud to be a convert.

When I started driving I made it my point to get an Automatic Car but after taking lessons on learning to drive stick I never looked back....

[alwayz_yummy]

as i know, sa impreza wrx-sti 6MT, may shift light sya.. pag eco mode, most economical iilaw na sya to signal you that its time to shift...

[number001]

ako gusto ko ng jazz(GE) 1.5 m/t. ang saya siguro i-drive nun. nawala yung 1.5 m/t nung nagfacelift eh. tsk

AFAIK, since its launch in late 2008, the GE only had M/T available in the 1.3 variant.

The GD had the M/T option for both the 1.5 and 1.3 variant.

[LeBRONghini6]

Ok lang sakin A/T basta may paddle shift and 6 speed. Convenience of A/T, F/C is closer to M/T's, and ung "FUN FACTOR" Close sa M/T din.

Ok lang yan, saglit lang yan matutunan ulit hehehe

* Piecesbooy: nakalimutan ko i-add na most TOTL buyers.... most lang, hindi lahat hehehehe

[imperialv]

sorry for my ignorance.. What is TOTL?

For me a/t provides more comfort even if you have a driver. Bihira na ko makakita ng driver na swabe magshift at di inaabuso yung clutch. Minsan pag driver ng kamag-anak nasakyan ko at m/t dala parang gusto ko pang agawin yung manibela para di ako mahilo. Maybe TOTL owners are looking at that as well. Preference ko din m/t back in college but these days kahit sa province sobrang traffic na din.

[rattrapante]

For our Utility vehicles, I am glad Ford still has M/T for their Everest / Ranger TOTL.

[vin23]

Siguro nga dahil na din karamihan satin ay mas gusto ng comfy ride. Sa manual kasi merong sipa especially during hard shifts unlike conventional automatics ngayon sobrang smooth parang 1 nga lang yung gear mo dirediretso lang. Pero ewan ko bat mas enjoy ako dun sa sumisipa? Haha. Pero bakit sa ibang bansa ang TOTL nila is MT? Like the RS/SI/ST etc. ng Jazz, Civic, Focus, Fiesta and lahat na ng may sport variant. Now I know kung bakit hindi nila madala dito yang mga variants na yan. Heck, even the WRX STI Impreza has the A-Line now.

sabi ng friend ko na nagtatrabaho sa office ng isang motor corporation, (I will not mention on what company she's working on for confidential matter)

--sabi niya bago daw pala magdetermine at maglabas ng specific model/variant e may research study, survey about people and traffic condition to specific what kind of variant may suit in that kind of place or condition, here in the Philippines lumabas sa studies na more on urban and sub-urban areas ang kumukuha ng automobiles, at more in demand ang A/T for those kind of buyers, at due to traffic condition people prefer to drive A/T than M/T and that's according to a survey they conducted.

A/T ang TOTL variants na lumalabas daw naun, saka it depends naman daw sa outlook ng company e, yung iba nga alam ko e, M/T e TOTL,

in European countries naman 85% are more prefered on driving M/T than those A/T, why? because car's are make in that way to drive with a stick daw according to motoring today show

At kaya nga mga AT nila dun ay 6speed and up na ang configuration para magustuhan pa rin ng tao yung good mileage na nabibigay nito vs let's say a 4speed AT.

[Starex_Gold]

Magilas nga yung accent crdi m/t. Lakas ng hatak magaan pa. Ako naman baliktad. If pagpalain ako na magkasuper car eh automatic naman gusto ko. Haha. GT-R R35 lang kasi dream car ko eh wala naman manual trim yun diba? Hindi rin ata to counted as super car? Haha.

Yup twin clutch 6 A/T with manual override yung GT-R. Ok rin yung BMW SMG transmission.

Super car naman ata yung R35, kasi it performs like a super car.

Kahit supercars naka paddle shift nadin for split second shifting

Yung Ferrari 458 grabe mag shift

[vin23]

Super car performance nga pero not priced like a super car diba? Hehe. Meron pa bang mas grabe mag shift sa F1? 0-300kmh in 5secs ba? Haha. Grats nga pala kay Ninong Alonso!:award:
