New to the forum, Loving my Honda City.. BUT...

[matrox02]

It has the Honda-matic box and im concerned... how exactly are you supposed to use it, at the moment I have to pull away from a stop in "L" then move to "*" and finally "OD" as im driving, is this normal?? Im hoping not and that its an easy fix....Because im still looking for a spare parts City to convert to the 5 speeder

Cheers guys, and ill post pics on a nice clear day.. New Zealand rains too much!

Thats normal, its called a Semi-Auto, or a Clutchless Manual.

They can be pretty fun to drive and they are bullet-proof.

Sweet, though im still trying to track down a whole wrecker City to convert to manual, I dont enjoy cars unless they are manual really...

Keep the semi auto they are a better box for launching off the lights. One Foot each on the brake and accellerator light goes green release the brake and off you go

I have one in my Pro-T bloody brilliant - better for take off than the manual .Yeah you have to move the stick to change gears but each gear has such long legs and seamless change a treat to drive .Amazing how many cars you leave behind from a standing start .
