Just curious, you don't like the 6MT?

OC335sedan · 11-18-2017, 06:53 PM

I do like it. I’ve had many manuals over the years and this one is quite good. Just may have to drive in traffic more now and the auto might be better for my situation.

Nice combo. Good luck finding what you're looking for!

Amazingly I just ended my 2015 Estoril blue 2015 lease to go to MT last week! AT was the only disappointment in that car.

Good luck!

Nice! The 6MT is a nice unit in these cars -- pretty short throw and easy clutch. You notice the extra power in the M240 over your M235?

Yes, the MT is very nice! I do feel the little extra torque in this engine compared to the last one, but since I'm still in the break-in period, I have not really noticed the extra power yet. And I think it's ultimately going to be hard for me to compare the two engines given that I'm switching gearboxes with very different ratios (not apples to apples). It's obviously a really great engine, though!
