My K11

[Tom Tandy]

This is my K11 auto (soon to be manual however). Any mod suggestions?

Why change?? the auto's are very good.
I actually think they're a bit quicker pulling away than the manuals.

I just like to feel more engaged with the car while driving. But it's nice to come across someone who is on the auto side of things...

Understand that, I drove auto's for over 30 years and love them.
My missus has a 1.3 auto, pulling away its quick, quick, quick.

They are fairly quick, must admit. What's the fastest you've ever got in the 1.3 auto?

Ha, ha, I only drive it occasionally, and that's only 500 yards to Asda. Its the acceleration that's impressive.
I drove it home from Torquay after I bought it, and it sits happliy at 70/80 mph. Top end, don't know...never been there in this car.

Davy mate you should put a pipercross in the auto's air box! B-)

Another vote for the 1.3 CVT
Great little cars, surprisingly brisk (especially compared to lardy modern hatchbacks )

They would certainly surprise a few on here.
I would have no qualms about buying one, certainly if I lived in a city.
