Subject: RE: Operating a manual transmission?



I bought a new Ford Fiesta Hatch back with ecoboost and 5 speed manual transmission in November 1914. I learned to drive a manual transmission that my dad built into a garden tractor in 1951. I have not yet owned a vehicle with an automatic transmission. I have driven a few rented auto transmission cars but I prefer the manual. Gives me more control and the little fiesta gets 36 to 40 mpg and in 2nd gear can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 10 seconds. Not the quickest in the world but not slow.
