Re: Manual transmissions V70-XC70 2001

Kend -

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that the folks who like manual transmissions really like the V70's manual tranny. The folks who like automatic transmissions tend to like the automatic tranny better.

Not much help, huh?

I've driven the car both ways, and they both work really well (within the confines of their various limitations) so as far as I'm concerned, it's totally your preference. My wife was "tired of shifting" so the geartronic was mandatory for us. This is our first car with an auto tranny, and it's taken some getting used to, but it does work quite well. I absolutely miss the fun of rowing my own though.

Good luck,

Darell
