Integra iS(typeS) Auto vs Manual
-
hi
I am considering buying an integra but not sure whether i shld buy auto or manual transmission. Does it help in anyway to get it in Manual for driving in sg ? does anyone know how much diff is there btw auto and manual ? 
Is it necessary ? or shld i juz get the auto one ?

auto should be better in sg roads and u can still have some fun with the tiptronic at the same time.Originally posted by zc11:hi I am considering buying an integra but not sure whether i shld buy auto or manual transmission.

but will the tiptronic shift spoil fast is u use it frequently ? i heard it will wear and tear rather fast if u use it frequently

Manual is better, lower FC for normal driving. Tiptronic indeed is not as durable as manual one. So far more of spoilt gearbox are auto ones, high costOriginally posted by zc11:but will the tiptronic shift spoil fast is u use it frequently ? i heard it will wear and tear rather fast if u use it frequently -
Its obvious that manual transmission is better, not just in Integra, basically any performance car... just that its not good if u are using it in singapore. The countless traffic lights in just one straight road is good enough to put off that though of having a manual car... plus the traffic jams in the peak hours... and imagine if you're having that jam along an uphill slope like Benjamin Shears or the Ikea carpark exit... if u dun mind all this, then go ahead and get the manual. For me, I love manual too, but its all down to being practical.

Manual is good, but...in Singapore Auto's the preferred choice...?

taxi drivers lol even if i drive a 1.3A suzuki jimny now 83hp also faster than them leh... everytime traffic light i drive they still like far behind... wat more about integra...??

More often than not, most ppl who drive such car will regret getting an auto... unless you are those who do not mod your car etc or maybe a lady driver (sorry for stereotyping...)

Aiyah, Integra Steptronic is quite fast, even my fren driving Type R 6MT also commented. Anyway, AT has already overtaken MT in gear change response time. The new Golf GTI with DSG auto has faster 0~100 timing than its MT counterpart. Similarly for SMG auto by BMW, and also dual clutch auto by Honda, all have faster shift timing than MT. I like MT due to faster response, but with these new generation AT, MT is really redundant....

but integra iS the clutch no very hard right ??
i will add bodykits and 17" s/rims but not those parts to add horsepower coz not really neccessary. is the new '05 integra iS fixed with the new generation AT ?? is yes... it will be GREAT ! -
Again it all depend on wat car ur driving lor.......comparing Japanese cars it's for sure manual is better. Just like manual and auto EK..Originally posted by ernie77:Aiyah, Integra Steptronic is quite fast, even my fren driving Type R 6MT also commented.
