I'm really just a sweet little old lady, until I get behind the wheel of a car :D

Actually, that's not quite true - I really pride myself on my driving but I DO think that's cos I use manual gears - you have to THINK.

I know the fault lights which appear and the ones you mean .. we had a very very old Citroen and it's dashboard lit up like Blackpool illuminations and November 5th put together as soon we hit a motorway and couldn't turn back (or so it sometimes seemed!)

By starseed• 22 Sep 2007 21:06

you sound like me - I've been told that I drive with authority - just a polite way of saying that I don't let anyone give me s***!!! lol - and that's with manual... I'm usually always one step ahead :)

when driving an automatic.

Mind you .... I'm sure I used to be able to do that when driving manual also! Just need fast reactions and enough nimbleness NOT to kick the bottle of cider out of your hand as you get your foot back to the clutch :D

Usually we didn’t see these lights in the dashboard which suggest there is something wrong; unless of course there is a fault in the car that made this light or indicator appears.

is for lazy drivers.... just my opinion - lol

By jauntie• 22 Sep 2007 20:53
jauntie

do you mean those lights which come on and flash things like 'STOP' because something is wrong with the car? For instance, no water - oops do cars still have radiators?

Think I've had cars which do that.

I have control :)) Always be in control..........

By jauntie• 22 Sep 2007 20:50

I just find it really satisfying to use the gears, rather than that weird dull 'oomph' jolt you get when an automatic changes the gear for you. I KNOW one can alter automatic to manual, but it just doesn't feel the same.

I prefer to change down a gear when *I* want to slow the car, rather than have the automatic gear box do it as a reaction to me hitting the brake.

I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned.

oh, but that wasn't what the thread was about, was it. sowwee :o#

Jauntie thats really funny. lol :D Automatics are soooo borrriiinnngggg! I reckon thats why there are so many accidents - everyones asleep at the wheel :D

jauntie, most cars today are equipped with ECU's sensors and transmitters

if a fault is showing on the dashboard, it should be brought to the agency for diagnosis or erasure of fault.

i didn't know you were a speed freak :P thought you were just a terrific singer! :P

Sequential or tiptronic transmission, you have the best of both worlds….you can easily shift to manual if you want to race, or just drive smoothly on auto. This type usually comes with electronic transmitters in their valve body which is connected in the E.C.U.

Better have it computer diagnosed to check the condition of the car.

You're in control of the car.

Don't even think of getting a manual if you've never driven one before, and you have to have a manual driving license - even in Qatar.

or is it 100K

at 10K the driver/user did only 2000Km per year. You need to have the vehicle checked by NBK to make sure the vehicle is good or not.

My humble recommendation.

Like Audi's DSG might be good in that leaves the control of the vehicle to the driver, and I think the gear changing is very fast.

I don't know if paddleshifts behind the steering wheel are convenient to use though...

By jauntie• 22 Sep 2007 18:27

I have owned 1 or 2 or so sports cars in my short life :P

All very cheap and old, but great fun to drive. I don't particularly like automatic gears in cars because it really doesn't FEEL like you have as much control. Know what I mean ;)

guess you got alot of experience there on hands for manual gear :D

Hi

you know doha's traffic, i'm struggling with manual gear too. Better not to go for it and with mercedez no way, i'm against it. so plz. my personal suggestion is that don't go for it... automatic is better.

If you are ready to face pains out of shifting gears and clutch, then go ahead with manual(sequential gear??).

However, mauual gear is reliable and longlasting, but not for doha...

By DaRuDe• 22 Sep 2007 17:52
DaRuDe

first of all what is a sequential gear?? you mean manual??

but sure i prefer steptronic i too have 2002 s500 still in best condition.

and fast did beat alot of sports car around Doha :D
