It would definitely be a great thing to have if you drive in traffic a lot, but would the decrease in performance be worth it?

 

i think the gta might come with that option. not sure if the gta will come to the us or not

 

Exactly how does sportronic work? I mean the mechanical side of it

 

You get an evo 8 because it is a fun performance car to drive....if you want a boring car get an STi or an evo with "sporttronic"

 

I really don't know. I just like to think of it as the lazy man's manual tranny.

 

negative

 

yeah let me get a sports car with an automatic, and a 4 speed on top of that WHOO HOO

 

Its an automatic transmition that you tell when you want it to start thinking about shifting. Then like 2k rpm later it decides to shift. Atleast thats how 95% of them in comercial cars work. There is a bmw (I forget which one) and race cars that actuate a the clutch and shift a manual transmition that are effective, but also expensive.

 

hell no

 

mitsubishi's sportronic is you just put in in drive and go, however you can move it to the right and you can move it up + to go up in gears or down - to downshift.

again what would be the point of buying a sports car with an auto?

if i wanted an automatic, i would have bought like a ****ing lexus....

 

The new Mitsubishi Galant will have have a SportTronic tranny... But the HP is somewhat 250.. Which is not badd... But i still dont get what is the difference.. Or it is just same as an automatic, but can have different shifting RPMs.. Which might be a lil better.. For lazy people... LOL!

 

I wish the EVO came with a 6 speed transmission, over a Sportronic. I'd ditch my Talon for one.

 

Sportonic is gay, its just a an automatic....how useless

 

I haven't driven a semi-automatic tranny that I've liked yet. The smg on the M3's is ok at best IMHO. I've driven 2 360's, one with the clutchless sequential paddles, and another with the standard manual, and despite the fact that gated shifters are a royal pain in the ***, it felt superior. I feel like I have more input with a standard manual, even though the argument can be made that not having to take your hands off the wheel affords better vehicle control. I'll never get used to not having to use my left foot and right hand to control the car.

 

I'd rather not have an auto even if its a GTA.
