That said, I will own my VX for ever, and if it does need a new tranny or engine, it will get a 5 speed manual swap.
I was just hoping some one else would do it first.

Off course, here in downtown Hobart, it takes me 12 minutes to drive the 16km (10miles) to work.
That is, unless I do it in peak hour.
Then it takes 15 minutes.

I also wish the VX came in manual BUT autos do have their benefits offroad. Most people prefer autos offroad because its much easier not dealing with a clutch on really difficult trails and because the torque converter in autos will end up yielding much more power when starting from a stop.

I know you were just saying that you prefer the feel of a manual offroad, but I just had to throw in my two cents.
