Welcome. WHy did u get the auto? Why not get a 5spd?

 

[Rodek]

I'm pretty excited. The dealer just called. It "should" be ready for delivery tonight or first thing in the morning. Why did I get the Auto? Well, I have pretty bad arthritis. Most of my driving is in town so the shifting would be pretty painful.

Congrats...

i don't know if its true, but the salesman said the auto gets better gas because of the close gearing on the stick...

 

[Rodek]

I read that somewhere too. It seems as if Atick folks are spining at higher RPM's on the highway as compared to the Auto boxes. That "may" account for a 1-2 MPG difference.

 

[Rodek]

I meant Stick not Atick....

 

[Big_Kokujin]

its wierd, because i fly through the gears, and i end up at a like 50 mph...thats shifting at like 2.8k or so...

I meant Stick not Atick....

<------nudges Rodek and whispers...use edit next time

 

[Rodek]

Interesting. Anyone know at what RPM the Auto shifts (driving normally)?

 

[My1stbox]

I know for sure with my manual xB, at 60 MPH, the RPMS is at about 3k exact or so Versus 2k rpms at 60 for the Auto boxes I heard. I would tihnk that the sticks get better mileage but hell, i would sacrifice 1 MPG for a more fun to drive experienece

I also have an '06 BOP with auto tranny, and I love it!

BOP Rules!

 

[spamcan]

yeah, BOP rules! also a rare breed in hawaii, for some strange reason. and most of the time ppl think i have a black box. i like how it can look black, dark gray, or blue depending on the amount of light on it. have fun with it.

Welcome man.


Well, there are three of us now.

When I bought my 06 BOP, the salesman pointed out that it's like getting two colors, because it often looks black at night.
