Your Escort Manual or Auto?

[kenny86_2004]

I was wondering how many people have sticks or autos.

I had read(prior) to buying mine that the standards got 7-8 and up to 10mpg better fuel economy.This was also from some respected testers/reports.SOooo I looked for a slush box.Couldn't find any in a wagon..OH OF COURSE! after I bought mine I continued on the looking a bit vein..then there were lots.Nice.Figgers.I bought an auto.The mileage was so good..36 city/45 hiway..I began to disbelieve the standard claim..and didn't really care about the extra 10 when Iwas doing this well anyway.

its true, manuals do get better gas mileage.

89 gt was a 5spd (all that was offered) - got 40 hwy, 93 lx is a 4spd auto, gets perhaps 30. Id like to have my 89 gt back

i have an automatic. i mean...my mom has an automatic, i just drive it! the RPM limiter kicks in so quick..... at around 4500 i suppose? its a 99 SE 4 dr. i mean, whenever i floor it the engine doesnt get full RPM range and the lmit kicks in. i would opt for manual cuz i can control the revs.
