Re: How do you find the automatics ...
They're not too bad....in standard tune the turbos don't like to sit at 30 or 50 mph. With a little more torque they will do this more readily.
I have to admit the S70 is more refined but I wouldn't say that the ZF 4 HP 14 box is rough when in good condition. Not bad for drag racing either

Re: How do you find the automatics ...
The one thing I found annoying with my auto is it would not change to 4th until you went over 30mph, so the engine revs were always a little high travelling thorough the towns/villages. Other than that I never had any problems with them.

I have a 92 turbo and I find it very smooth. I normally slip it into 3 when traveling around the country lanes and the kick down is phenomenal especially with a richmod ecu.....
