Diba kahit yung pre-mmc wala na MT? Astig sana yung altis ngayon na six speed kaso bitin na bitin sa features yung 1.6G. Sana man lang nilagyan nila ng MT yung 1.6V.

It's what the buying public demands. Enthusiasts may talk all day but if they're not buying then the manufacturers aren't selling.

I used to drive sticks up until 2005. But driving in urban traffic and extended periods behind the wheel (3-4 hours with the occasional 12 hour stint) killed that. And hindi po ako namamasada. I just need to get around sometimes.

Nobody cares about driver involvement or total control when you're crawling in EDSA traffic. For me I'd rather just get home with the least drama and effort.

And yes, I want my next ambulance to have an automatic transmission.

Kahit yung Lancer EX GT inalis nila. Pero sabi nila, at buti nalang.. okay naman yun tranny ng GT-A kasi responsive naman daw yung paddle shifters niya. mas maganda siguro kung dual clutch yun.

This^^^

Manufacturers take a loss when they bring units in and they don't sell well. Look at the Ford Lynx RS... lots of remaindered stocks even after Ford stopped selling the rest of the line-up. The Ford Focus TDCi sold poorly in MT, and much better with the Powershift... the Honda Civic 2.0 MT was a total bust... even the Honda Jazz GD 1.5 MT is rare secondhand because the 1.5 CVT was a more popular choice... which is why the GE Jazz 1.5 only comes in AT.

It's stupid to bring in stocks if people won't buy... so manufacturers don't. We can moan about it all we want, but if nobody buys the cars brand new, then it's all for naught.

dito lang sa forums madaming naghahanap ng M/T TOTL, pero in fact, halos lahat ng nandito sa forums e car enthusiasts at malaking part nun e M/T lovers. so isipin nyo, malaking part ng hindi nagfoforum dito e, hindi bibili ng M/T dahil all they need kaya sila bibili ng kotse is for convenience, MATIC.

Hindi naman siguro kasi medyo malaki difference sa price nung E sa V. Siguro yung G variant pwede na alisin tapos combine na lang sa V variants.

Buti nga nauso ngayon yang may sportronic mode. At least you can still control your shifting if you want without a clutch nga lang.

Hindi naman sa pinipilit na mas ok ang manual. Depende pa rin siguro sa tao yan kung saan sila nag eenjoy sa pagdrive. Mahirap i-explain yung feeling pero siguro yung mga tulad kong mahilig pa rin sa manual would get what I mean. Oo nakakaasar talaga when your stuck in traffic with a manual. Pero lagi na lang ba ganun ang situation? How about when the roads are open and you want a more spirited driving? Iba pa rin ang manual. Oldskul na kung oldskul, impractical na kung impractical pero I'd still prefer a manual.

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.

Tingin ko rin esp sa urban areas. Matic for convenince pa rin. Tapos kapag out of town wth long roads, mapapakinabangan ng husto yugn paddle shifters.

Sa mga 2nd-3rd rate province, mas ok MT kasi mas maadali ayusin. Pero kung TOTL nga kayang bilhin, malamang AT din prefer ng owner since nasa mga 40's na yan malamang or even higher. hehehe
