we had an '04 E, MT for four years, traded for another SUV, and just got back into an E, and of course, it is AT.
I learned to drive on a stick, and every vehicle I ever owned, except for my truck had one.
Actually, I never really liked the MT on our '04. the tranny was syncromeshed to the max...felt like waving a joystick around, not driving a car. the clutch was so easy to engage it was almost non-existent, no feel to it at all. very hard to shift smoothly, quite a bit of rear squat through every gear when you tried to get on it...
I really like the AT of the 2010 much better. leaving from a stop is easy now with virtually not wheel spin or hop(especially on wet pavement) good passing gear power...
never thought I would say it....
any others with past E MT experience???
