True!
If anything this forum is a sanctuary of peace. You only need to read some comments on fastestlaps or YouTube to be thankful for such a community.

Let's just say I've had 2#172 2#182 1#133twingo 1#197 1#200 1#225-meg 1#250-meg 1#200T 1#220T and for me on and off track the 220t is the best one so far
If this was about football there would be riot by now!
I must say this is the best forum I've ever been on

I would hate to go back to changing gears manually it seems somehow wrong.

Will you say that when cars steer, accelerate, and brake for themselves too?
To me driving is a joy and the more I can be involved in the art of it, the more I have to work at it, the more enjoyment I get out of it.
I'm the complete opposite to yourself...to me, having a car change gear automatically is wrong. Completely!
Me to , when I drive the mrs car it seems old fashioned .I am finding the gearbox is still involving as I'm always aware of it ,what it's doing . It's surprising how much I use manual mode just for the fun of it.
Don't these 4wd cars just drive themselves now,to competent?

For a daily it's a ball ache changing gear but I agree for going for a drive it's great fun pulling a lever to change gear.
It's the same with putting cars in 4wd, pressing a button just isn't the same as pulling back a lever and hearing a pleasing thud.
And for that matter N/A > forced induction

Is it really a ball ache in a daily? Really?
It is no more physically taxing than steering or pressing the brake/throttle!
As for NA > forced induction...for a spirited drive, a-f***ing-men.
couple of years ago I test drove a bmw 335i auto and an equivalent manual, the auto ruined it for me and the other car just came alive with the manual box, ive always loathed autos compared to manuals, they just always felt so detached, especially as I was so often pounding around race tracks.
Tbh though that all changed instantly when I test drove the Trophy.
I find the trophy gearbox in race mode more exciting than any manual ive driven, to me it makes it feel like your in a little racing car, full throttle upshifts with accompanying barks from the exhaust, blips on the downshifts and gear changes in milliseconds....personally I think its brilliant, you have full manual control, the car wont change up a gear unless you do it, even if your sat on the rev limiter, i had 2 back to back test drives in the trophy and the fiesta st, and the ford was just nowhere near the Trophy for me, manual box or not, infact the manual box just felt ordinary and slow in comparison. Two unattractive words when spending 20k imo.
BUT, were all different and I respect that many don't share this view, that's not a problem to me, so I don't see why my choice and the choice of every other trophy owner, should be a problem for others......yet it always seems such an argumentative and provocative topic.

^^^^ That.
The RS Clios weren't the best cars in their class for straight line performance, it's the involvement and fun factor that they used to be the best at.
I've not driven any of the Mk4s so I can't really comment any further than that.
