Vinceng Turbocharged October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Exactly. VW imported Scirocco R manual once. Sit in the showroom very long cannot sell. What if manual gearbox kaput, need to wait how long for spare parts to arrive? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 What if manual gearbox kaput, need to wait how long for spare parts to arrive? If it was common then they would obviously stock parts. But since the manual is not common obviously they will have to special order from Germany (minimum one day). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark1976 Turbocharged October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 thats because you do not know the joy of self shifting. do you have class 3 or 3A? LOL.... agree, till today, I still prefer manual, but too bad, choice is limited unless Im going to pay for extra... I believe in driving a car rather than driven by the car. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go overseas and rent manual car. But now I thinking, like really for fart take manual license nowadays? Well, if you like to know, I just drove my company van to pick up some items. If you have class 3, you can do that anytime rather than purposely employ or get a driver with manual licence to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Singapore got no market because not many people here can drive, and a lot will take Class 3A 'cos they can't pass Class 3.

1fast1 Supersonic October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) Nowadays, manual porky fetch lower value than PDK. Don't get me wrong. I am all for the new generation fast-shifting transmissions if they are a) in cars that prioritise performance (Porsche, BMW M cars) and b) quicker than a manual. However, the driver buying those cars must at least know how to drive a manual, preferably with some real skill (heel-toe, etc.). In which case, buying a PDK or DCT becomes a conscious performance-oriented decision and not a cop-out because one can't drive.

I thought nowadays these performance cars even their MT models also no need skill. I had the chance to drive a 370Z and I rmb it had this auto rev match so downshifting don't even need to heel-toe or rev match manually. I rmb there are quite a number of these kind of cars with this auto rev matching right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
