Ive driven several, and the shifts are just way to slow for any kind of spirited driving. Since there is no torque converter it does make for better power usage than an automatic though. And once its out of its 5yr/60k warranty the smt system is EXTREMELY expensive to repair..
Test drove one when I was looking for a roadster, it was godawful slow, shabby brakes, putrid looks and a boring interior. I was unimpressed with the car. Didnt care for the manumatic either.Originally Posted by green91

I am pretty sure when Car and Driver tested the car when it first came out it did 0-60 in 9 seconds. I would have to agree that is pretty godawful slow.
0-60 in 6secs with 5speed
0-60 in 7 secs with 6speed SMT
still not to bad for a 130hp engine, dont really want a drag car,i want something fun in the twisties,and this is one of the best at it for the $$
yea,i that review it said they were tad bit slower than the normal 5 or 6speed...but still put down same numbers on the Dyno,since its the same gearbox..but i like the looks and u dont see many of them..but it will be step up over a auto,as u said
