Anybody that has ordered 4 speed AT received their cars yet? Just wondering what your opinions on it is if you got it yet.

 

i work at a dealer and i have yet to see an automatic arrive. perhaps there just not that popular.

 

That's funny. Some dealer on ebay is already selling an automatic.

 

could be different state or perhaps we just did not order any. but i havent heard anybody here either that has received one yet.

 

i saw one in the showroom
the shift on the steering wheel is not really in the right position.
The shift up is actually at the middle to bottom part of the steering wheel rather than middle to the top, not that confortable because you have to move your hand down to shift.

 

Got a problem for shift down as well.
It is a bit far away, I have to move my hand a bit to be able to press the button.
I rather prefer the F1 style, with shifter on the middle to top behind the steering wheel. Left is down shift and Right is up shift.

 

Having test driven an AT at my dealer, I have to say that I like the position of the paddle shifters. Very similar to my ol' 2k Celica GT-S.

The 8 has the added benefit of being able able to shift on the wheel and the stick.

 

John Hine has one sitting there, and when I visited Tustin they had two. Like the man said, I think it's just not a very popular option, so there aren't that many around.
