    I love the Volvo I-Shift. It drives just like my car.

    Also known as an AMT, "automated manual transmission". Internally, the same as a standard, but everything is computer controlled.

    No problem for me. I like driving autos. I really love the autos in a traffic jam. Driving a stick is like changing the oil yourself. It's an over rated experience.

    Trucks aren't supposed to drive like a car because it doesn't give you the required control in a number of situations.
     
    Boattlebot and EZ Money Thank this.

    Then your experience has been of a limited scope. They do fine for some things but not so great for others.
     
    LoneCowboy Thanks this.
