lugo35 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 hi all what are the auto's like are they any good? cheers andy Link to post Share on other sites
The1andonlygav 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 hmm, any good for what? Falling asleep at the wheel?! ha, only kidding. They're not the the best auto boxes in the world, but with the vr6 engine, makes it smooth. But come on, if you're getting a vr6, get the manual!! Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 yeah agree! the auto is a decent car but the manual makes the vr6 a real drivers car! gear changes are a frequent occurance in a vr6 though!! lots of very low mileage auto vr`s when i was looking for mine though at decent money aswell, just depends what you want it for?

tinny22 11 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 is the 50 to 70 quicker on the auto box with the kick down. but the miles on the auto box always low when they are for saletinny22 Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I think I'm fairly well placed to answer this one. The auto box on my VR6 Vento is very good. It has a clever adaptive shift. When you're driving around normally, it shifts early, keeping RPM down and improving fuel economy. However, press the accelerator quickly and sport mode engages. In sport mode, the VR6 will rev right round to the redline and make very rapid progress indeed. Overall, it works very well and is pretty smooth.An auto box is so much nicer when you're in stop/start traffic too ... Link to post Share on other sites
Justicevr6 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Agree totaly with privious post very nice in traffic but will still red line when you want it to mine kicks down at 100mph. Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Just don't check your MPG after you've been driving, er, enthusiastically for a while. It's scary! Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Nowt wrong with auto's and yes they do come with low mileage, not the same as a manual I agree but still plenty of fun to be had. Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 i heard they need overhauling at 80 k ish Link to post Share on other sites
Zonda_ 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 [blockquote]But come on, if you're getting a vr6, get the manual!! [/blockquote] Bear in mind that some people need autos. I had a car crash a few years back and I damaged my wrist. I didn't want to get a slugger auto either at the time. I eventually settled on a 200SX which I modified to just shy of 300bhp. It made having a manual somewhat more bearable!Fortunately after a year with an auot my wrist had healed enough to get a manual again. Link to post Share on other sites
