For me, I prefer my a/t car vs my m/t for whatever road conditions!
Yung a/t ko kasi may manual mode, pero yung m/t ko walang a/t mode.hehehe
Seriously, mga bagong modelo ngayon (model 2010 & up) pag nagamay mo yung sportronic cvt parang ayaw mo ng gumamit ng m/t.
Yan yung realization ko nung dinala ko sa baguio yung asx-se ko (in comparison with my m/t), no sweat, no tears... But full of joy & full of fun.
On my way up to baguio, I used my 4WD. Going down, paddle shifters naman. After Baguio, back again to a/t D-mode.
Finally, able to cope up with 18hrs of driving and strolling to Baguio then way back home sound & safe!
