    Well why don't we find out why he wants a auto? if its cause he can't drive a manual, well fair enough. or if its cause he already has a track car, fair enough also lol. but if its cause he doesnt know how to drive a manual, but i doubt that, tell him to man up lol.

    learning to drive a manual is easier than getting a auto sprinter IMO

    Once you did go through the headache and money to find one, after 6 months you'd hate yourself, as you fall asleep
    at the wheel of your boring slushbox.

    unless you can't drive manual by law, buy a 600 dollar ke70 bomb manual with a few weeks rego left, and learn on that.

    then when you've done that, sell it for around the same price, and go back to plan A of getting an 86.

    then be happy, and free from the stigma of being the only goofball in aus driving a slusher hachi.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Jarrod @ May 31 2008, 02:36 AM) </div>+1. I've never even thought about going auto.
    Even in HEAVY stop start traffic... bring it on!

    If you are passionate about cars, manual is the only way ... semi manuals, clutchless manuals, tiptronics just don't cut it for me.

    Get a manual ae86, it can be as much a daily car as any auto cos you WILL enjoy it and the hassles will be non existent.

    lol i can't believe you want an auto ae86

    it's like saying you want a turbo with no boost. Why the hell would you buy an ae86 as just a daily...

    I like my auto 86........ Why is everything about drifting? for a daily city driver my manual gtv is a c**t to drive in traffic and i prefer the auto "sometimes". if auto 86's are that bad why did they mass produce them..
    Meh everyone has their own tastes and opinions.......let them have them.

    I personally don't like 86's for drifting...... nor initial D...... I like them for what they are and there performance.

    Anyhoo whateva, just my 2 cents

    The daily I had before my current one was an auto ke55. At first I enjoyed the laziness of the auto but after awhile you get a bit bored of it. If you put an auto box into a sprinter I'm sure you'll find alot of haters but if you absolutely must have the sprinter shape theres no other way. I say the sprinter shape beacuse if you convert that car to automatic you'll lose alot of what most people on here love these cars for - the drive.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (li21 @ May 31 2008, 09:42 AM) </div>Well said

    Nobody has commented on the fact that autos are less fuel efficient too and if its for a daily that'd be my main criteria for buying. I drove my AE71 3spd auto for a week or two (before pulling it apart for a manual/4AGE conversion) It was a disgusting car to drive, absolute dog with that auto box. Not to mention I was getting something like 15+ L per 100k.
