Thread: 2011 Grand Touring - No MT?

It's true.

I'm very close to a purchase, and I called Hyundai in Utah (corporate) to find out if the suspension on the GT was (I'm not that old, but I do like my comfort) a bit "softer" than the Track. I also asked about the M/T in a GT.

I was told the GT does not come in M/T, and that because of the bushings in the M/T Track, the ride is in fact a bit softer than the GT. Soon after, I test drove both, and saw no appreciable difference. Now the only model I'm "pricing" is the Track.

i'm really disliking this "going away" from real manual trannies.

A no clutch "manual" tranny is for folks that want to "play" at having a M/T.

Further, we had a BMW 330xi with a (?) sport-tronic trans......it was a joke.

I have an 09 328i, supposedly it has the same tranny as the 3.8 automatic made by ZF, BMW calls it "steptronic" jsyk. It's not that great, I like to engine break and whenever I downshift it always hangs at 4000rpm and just stays there for a while, kind of annoying.
