<VV> 3-speed reminder

[Thompson, Ed (MKE x1231)]

Joe-  This would be a great question to pose to CORSA members, via letter (e-mail) send to the Communique, for publishing in the Members "Open Forum" column.

Call me odd (most people do), but I've always preferred the 66 and on 3-speed for a daily commuter driver. I'm not sure why. Certainly the 4-speed is better for more spirited driving with its better ratios. Does anyone have a convertible with a 3-speed? It seems that everyone replaces a 3-speed as soon as they can. I'm just wondering how many cars still have their 3-speeds.

A 3-speed was the "normal" (base) transmission on ALL Vairs -- even for Spyders

and Corsas, a 4-speed was an extra cost option.

3 speed is "normal" for a 500.

Positraction is "semi normal" for wintery areas. Looks like a nice

car.
