Fun driving using the paddles in "S" mode and the good reliability of the Aisin 6 speed.

I thought the R53 was only available with a 6-speed manual? Who would want it any other way?!

I think it's been available with an auto at least since '05.

Not having to shift and I can still enjoy the handling and power of my R53. After 30+ years of manual transmissions, I'm tired of all the shifting in stop and go traffic.
