Typhoon - Auto Or Manual

[NVYDF6]

if you want a new Bionic F6, you'll have to be quick or find one in dealer stock because its discontinued

what do you mean by discontinued? I am buying a BF2 F6 in bionic this month.

[senna_T]

that's what I mean, they are being discontinued as of next month, this month is the last time you can order it

as in october or november? because I am buying mine in november.

[senna_T]

is the car built already or will it have to be built? Speak to your dealer about this, because any orders for November build are being coded as Neo

Mate, if you get the Phoon in Bionic, dark argents, and ZF you will have a smile on your face for the next year or longer

reading this thread really keen to try the ZF.... I have the T56 and honestly can't complain about it one bit.... I drive my car hard and the box really lets me have fun... but really depends on how you drive I guess

I'm on my second Phoon , had a manual BA2 and an auto BF both had been at the 310 rwkw mark, the verdict, well really depends on the type of driving you do. The manual was heaps of fun with clear road and twisties, but a pain in the proverbial in Sydneys sh*t peak traffic periods when I spend most of my time in the car.

The Auto is a great compromise and is a really good intuitive box in auto mode and there is still lots of fun to be had in manual mode albeit with no clutch.The auto at comparable power is faster by a very noticeable amount.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys, I am leaning toward the ZF now.....

Now to get looking for one.

Good call....it really is everything it's cracked up to be

I've had both a BA MK2 in manual and an auto BF and the ZF is great. I have moments when I wish I had the manual again....then I sit in traffic for an hour and thank god its manual. The manual is a pig in traffic! It farts and carries on in 1st gear and low revs.

If I lived out bush I would take the manual next time no question. If you drive any more than 10% of the time in stop start traffic, you will wish you had the auto.
