MOTOLITE DELIVERY... how may I help you?

Sana nationwide na 'to. haha.

tama ka jan woohoo.

pero may hidden charges pala yang delivery na yan :bwahaha:

well pag utilitarian vehicle which hauls heavy objects, M/T talaga, Manuel you control your ride, automatic the transmission chooses for you, I like and I choose/prefer manual because both of your leg/feet are working.
I don't like A/T because according to my observation, nowadays many automatic cars, the driver is doing another thing while driving, like for example, texting, calling, using their cellular phones, which they are not to be done.

That part ain't exactly the fault of the transmission.

I have a cousin who used to be able to put on his uniform (including pants) and eat his breakfast while driving a manual transmission car...

kaya dami nai-stroke e, konting pagod ng isang paa ayaw na agad. pansinin nyo pag na stroke karamihan patay kalahati ng katawan gandang exercise yan for free even pag may naka away ka malakas kang sisipa on both legs joke

what can you say on those who do not want to be bothered by the manual tranny cons then go the gym to have their work outs???

if you have the budget on the extra cost re maintenance then there's no debate about this. a matter of preference prevails.

peace

well i have seen elfs and canters in the auctions(from japan) that are matic..

and look at the japanese sites of isuzu and mitsubishi. canters, elfs... even hino have automatic tranny.

well its not the ATs fault.. blame the driver!

i used to drive m/ts. i had misconceptions then about a/ts being slow, gas guzzler and not so powerful.

then i purchased a sorento a/t and my eyes were opened to the convenience, comfort and driving pleasure using a/ts. the sorento is such a pleasure to drive that i sometimes i dont use my driver anymore even for long trips. now, i will never go back to m/ts.

in fact i recently purchased a strada (gen 2 lang, walang pambili bago) and i opted for a/t. mind you, i do mainly drive my vehicles in the province but still i prefer a/ts.

why? because im just a regular driver, not the racing type, not even the offroader type.

as for the fuel consumption, i suspect i even made better fuel consumption with a/t because i usually lift off my foot when driving to take advantage of the free wheeling mode of a/ts when coasting.

just my 02 cents and change
