Actually it was the manual... which may have seen some abuse, because it
certainly wasnt a smooth gate. But I do beleive it was the 4 banger
version... not the 6, which WOULD make a big difference. Assuming its
better than the v6 they put in the mx-3. Last week when I was in
atlanta, I drove my freinds mx-3 for the week, it was the 5 speed v6.
What junk. The 4000 would definately beat that car, there isnt even an
arguement there! :) it was new tho too, 15k on the clock. Very
unimpressive car, and after the week, I was glad to hand over the keys
again! :)
But the botom line is... no, I havent driven the mx-6 with the v6 and
5speed though... and if done right, its a good combo... (hear that audi???)
I do remember toying with a mx-6 turbo, and losing miserably on the
hiway...! :) hey, live and learn!
