Re: [PLUG] Re: Survey: who drives a stick shift?
|
I subscribe to PhillyCarShare, and use whatever is available, be it a Prius
Hybrid, Civic Hybrid, etc., and let them deal with maintenance. No stick
shifts, but there are some semi-automatic (a.k.a. Tiptronic, etc.) systems.
Once in a long while (or if no hybrids are available), I try something just
for fun. The Mazda Miata had nice pickup and control but it's cramped. I
will be trying the BMW, Audi, and Volvo soon. I did not like the
semi-automatic shifting in either the Mini Cooper nor the VW Beetle, but that
might just be due to inexperience. I primarily enjoy the Civic Hybrid
because it doesn't *feel* like a hybrid (comparing it to a Prius). I also
like feeling safer due to the Civic's high crash test ratings.
