I'm driving an AT and a manual...it's not about being meticulous, I'm after the new tech's these companies can offer...
What's the point of buying another conventional AT if I already have one, I like the manual but thinking about the everydays's traffic makes me think twice. This is the reason why I'm really eyeing for a DCT, para bang best of both words. Maganda rin sana CVT pero nakakatakot yung mga CVT...

Ang kulit with the Skyactive AT ah - CONVENTIONAL AT pa rin yun. Same freakin' torque converter technology with a new name.
Does it deliver power better than other ATs? Having driven one, I'd have to say NO. For one, its stablemate, the Mazda 3 2.0R with the non-Skyactive 148 HP engine and 5-speed auto feels faster.

May SkyActiv kaldero na rin nga ko eh.
Yung makina medyo legit kasi mataas yung compression ratio tapos direct injection na. Pero hindi naman noticably mas magaan yung chassis (same weight pa rin as the slightly smaller gasoline Tucson or Sportage). Yung transmission, ganun pa rin naman yung responsiveness.
SKYACTIV just kicked in 'yo!

Yeah it has a torque converter, pero mas efficient ata yung lock up gear nun eh...So as of the moment hindi ko alam kasi hindi pa ako nakakapag-drive ng ganun. Pero kahit na dumating pa ang mga skyactive techs ng Mazda eh mag-aantay pa rin ako ng mga inputs ng mga users dito sa tsikot.Basa na rin ng reports all around the net. At syempre before buying one na talaga, test drive din ang importante.
Siguro naman ay hindi natin pwedeng i-compare yung mga Lambos dito kasi different category talaga yun.

Spot on with the interest idea guys, that was exactly what I was thinking of. JackFlash, I actually put down my deposit early May, which is too far off from the June call-off. This was with Toyota Bicutan, which I chose, thinking that it would get stocks since it's directly under TMPI, and they had the first few 86 there.

July 18th, 2012 11:24 AM #319DCT are commonly found on high-end performance cars. You probably have to wait for the technology to trickle down to mass market cars.
So mga 10 years kang di bibili ng kotse kung DCT ang hanap mo, yun naipon mo mabilbili mo ng pre-owned car na may DCT. Pero after10 years may mas hi-tech na transmission na compare sa DCT. Yun naman ang hahanapin mo. So the end of story is.......
FOREVER KA NA DI MAKAKABILI NG BAGONG KOTSE!!!!
