A few of the posts above were saddened at the switch to automatics. I just got one of the new pkg cars, w/automatic, power steering and a 3 pt seat belt, and heater and w/w wipers and washer that actually work. I gotta tell you, it is pretty sweet. I have noticed 2 problems, however; first, it does seem to swing wider in the turns and, second, I have to keep looking at the speedometer to make sure I am not speeding as they do have cajones. One of my co-workers told me his first day with the new pkg car he was doing 45 in a residential area and did not realize it. I believe him--I have found myself having to back off. Yes, I was doing the imaginary clutch thing for the first part of my first day but now I have no desire to go back to the standard. I'll be curious to see if I feel this way when the snow flies.
