seanfraser Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 hi all, i used to own a 5 speed na and loved the quick shifts and the car in general due to changes in circumstances ive since changed cars and am hoping to get back in the supra game in 2 years. ive never looked at auto cars before as they've never interested me but maybe would consider an auto supra if given feedback from auto drivers. i.e. still get that off the line enjoyment? etc. also im not sure whether to buy an na to keep for years and look to convert eventually, or just to buy a turbo or twin turbo and enjoy it straight away. any help/tips/advice woould be great as i really dont know what to do. wouldnt mind driving an aerotop too but not a necessity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I went from a 5spd NA to a UK Auto and took a few weeks to get used to it. Yes I'd like a 6-speed box myself, but I have no issues with the auto. Great especially around time and in traffic when you're not doing spirited driving.

inazone Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have a TT-Auto and love it! Never thought that i would own an auto car as always driven manual cars, however i must say that when you plant your foot it keeps going and going and going, depending on how much road you have . If your having a spirited drive you can use the manu mode which works quite well, slowly getting used to it? I recon the VVTI versions with the Flappy Paddles would be better?

hoff Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Personally I really like the autobox but the best advice would simpley get out there and test drive as many as each version as you can before making a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Mine was an auto and could have stayed that way if it was my only car but it's my weekend car and when I drive it, I want to REALLY drive it, not let it drive me Now that I have converted mine I'd never go back but at the time I was content with it. I'd love the Supra auto box fitted in my runaround though, compared with others I have driven it was great and perfect around town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfraser Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 thanks for the advice, i think ill have to test drive an auto or at least have a passenger ride as want to see what its like as at the moment im just programmed for manuals. i drive autos as well as manuals at work but only normal cars on rolling roads.
