| POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | |||

| 1. approaching a left turn at 15 to 25 mph, gap in on-coming traffic, press accelerator and turn left. 2. the car decelerates as the transmission takes over and lethargically downshifts, 98% of the time, causing near misses. 3. i doubt anyone cares to consider it a problem. so, how many more broadsides occur with echos than the average for other cars, or has no one ever checked? | |||
