Robert,
Just my humble opinion, but
Honda never has and probably never will build a decent, fun-to-drive
automatic tranny.
Ain't that the truth! :^)
Their
manual tranny's are just the opposite and set the standard everyone else
measures their's against. Does anyone else on the list drive a
*shudder* automatic CRX? Good, bad, or just plain ugly driving
experience?
(* snip *)
I did drive a an Automatic (Second Gen) CRX last year and it had no guts
under the hood. :^P
However, if you're just looking for a commuter car, it's not bad.
It cruises rather nicely. But if you're an enthusiast or
performance kook, then this is not the car for you. I did hear of
someone who did a auto to manual conversion (I think it's listed on the
Honda Hybrid web site in the archives). I believe the owner did it
because he had the parts available as well as the time and skill
needed.
