Dear SMART:
Stop making it harder to convince my girlfriend to NOT get one of these. Despite its impracticality in our situation, she continues to want one.
Thanks.

has she driven one yet? The rocking-horse action of the shifting and short wheelbase is a defining characteristic of my test drive.
why not the LS2LS7? @ May 14th 2008 11:38AM
Let her drive one. The transmission is intolerable. It's insane. the car doesn't roll side to side badly in turns, but at each shift, the car lurches forward as the power comes off, then 3/4 of a second later when the power comes back on, it tilts back again.
I can't understand who would pay for that.

You have to learn how to use it...

God....You people and "the transmission shifitng problems." It is meant to be that way. It is for people who want the effective fuel consumption and lower inherent cost of a manual transmission, with the convenience of the lazy-matic transmissions Americans are all too comfortable with. As said by Yago, you have to learn how to use it to your advantage.
