    With good reason too, you won't get a lovely ZF transmission on a much lower priced and lower class FWD car!

    My Kia with the R2.2 CRDi was BEAUTIFUL... The 6spd w/ torque converter, however, was not... MUCH prefer my steaming lump of torque with a side of clutch!


    EDIT: I have hill hold assist on both forwards and reverse. Its nice - although the majority of the time, more annoying than useful.

    Yeah - It's really nice for cars with DSG (we have no clutch pedal)
