eyeing the '09 RA

[bryce-]

hello everyone, I've owned several honda and acura's in the past, but after some test drives of both the evo x and the RA, I've decided my next car is going to be a dsm. my current car, an '06 type s, has been tuned to a pretty decent all-motor daily driver, with a k-pro ecu and every imaginable bolt-on. i'm really leaning more towards the RA, mostly because of the price difference. plus, $1k or so nets you equal to more power than the evo x. now if i could just sell myself on owning and driving an auto transmission, plus decide on a color. the local dealership has a very nice ggp in stock, complete w/ the recaro package. ugh decisions decisions...

anyways, glad i found this site! :D

It's not an automatic transmission, it's an automated manual. It doesn't have a torque converter like an automatic transmission, it has a clutch just like a manual transmission. The shifting is automated via paddles or the computer.
