5-6k steptronic

[Raks]

Hey

Pretty straight forward really, friends wants some help on what cars are available for that budget or thereabouts with the step-tronic gearbox.

I suggested 5 series and Alfa 156's.

Any others??

Thanks for all help

I think the 5 series only got steptronic boxes on the current model.

You could probably get an old model 728 with several zillion miles and a steptronic for that price.

Old model Audi A6?
In summary, not a clue.

thanks 006, no wonder u never made the 007 front on cars!

Errm, yeh agree with you on the 5 series already, should have stated that I guess.

Just had a thought, whats the Selecta box on the Punto about!?

Is Steptronic the same as Tiptronic If so, a Mitsubishi FTO would fit the bill.

None worth buying...

Is Steptronic an automatic gearbox with (semi)manual selection of a manual geabox with hydraulic assistance?

Steptronic is just a brand name I beleive.

In my opinion, auto gearboxes with manual selection suck, the manual one's are the one you want! i.e. Ferrari F1/Alfa Selespeed, BMW SSG/SMG

Try a Jaguar with the J-gate box

He'll be all giddy and stepping his tronic for the first week of ownership then get bored and stick it in D.

Don't bother IMO, just get an auto.

sorry, didn't mean to throw branded names in there. Stupid advertising!

He really wants a semi-auto box to get the advantage of being able to shift when HE wants to, but on lazy days, throwing it into D.

Thats what they are there for, best of both worlds
