Dynamic SD4 Manual - M30 EVO - 01-08-2011 02:15pm
Just ordered a Dynamic SD4 Manual.
Although I appreciate that the majority of buyers will probably go for the auto, which I have had in several LR's over the years, I feel that the manual will provide a potentially more sporting / involved drive.
Also, theoretically, the fuel consumption should be slightly better.... every litlle helps!!
Anyone had the chance to drive a manual yet?
Any comments / views greatly received!
Many Thanks, Chris.

By quite a large margin too - 8.0 secs for the Auto 9.5 for the manual

That's probably down to quicker changes in the automatic. I assume there's two manual gear changes to 60. Torque converters are much less slushy than they used to be. I am confused about who makes the auto box though. Some say Aisin Warner, others ZF. Any info?

Aisin Warner = 6 speed
ZF = 8 speed ....... Jag XF etc .... I think
