              I prefer Automatic Transmission over Manual.
This is especially true when there are lots of ups and downs
and lots of STOP signs.
              When my friends and I were discussing about
Japanese and American cars all of them concurred on one point.
They said that Americans have perfected? Automatic Transmission
while Japanese have perfected? Manual Transmission.
In other words they said that if you want to buy a Japanese car,
buy one with Manual Transmission.
               I would like to know from people who own Jap. cars
equipped with Auto. Transmission (are there any out there?!)
about any problems they had because of that. Will they buy another
Jap. Car with Auto. Transmission ?

                I am not worried about the increased gas consumption
in an Auto. Transmission car, nor the $600 or $700  that I have 
to pay to get it. 

               While on the topic of Transmissions let me ask one
question. How does the "Unique Hill Holder" feature in the Subaru
work ?
