LMAO...DJKOR...i'll have to try this out now, but not with the wife onboard. Back onto the seq' mode...i've had a few manual cars, VR commodore, 2002 magna...and a few modified crowns....and driven plenty of others. For what the Aurion is, i think the transmission is brilliant. Let's be honest, in it's basic form it's a good family car. In SX-6 and ZR-6, it's a family oriented sport model. Compared to either the current commodore or falcon, i'd drive an aurion any day. Another good point for the seq' shift is where it's positoned in relation to the driver. It's nice and close, especially with the armrest pulled forward...you just flick it with your fingers...it's close to the steer' wheel as well. hehehe...now i'm off to see if i can get those front wheels hopping!!!
