That is because you have been driving cars with real automatic transmissions not AMT ones that are really manual transmissions with a computer operating the clutch. Many cars are using AMTs now and they will roll backwards on a hill when you take your foot off the brake just like a manual one...

So, people will have to have to put their left foot on the break and then step on the gas with their right. Most people who drive a real automatic will not do that. I know that other car companies use a sensor to detect an incline and then keep the brake applied for 2-3 seconds after you take...

Does anyone know if the AMT will have some kind of hill assist so it does not roll backwards on a hill?

I just bought a used Ford Fiesta with the Ecoboost 1l 3 cylinder engine. The thing makes 123hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. It has some get up and go.

I read things that say with a system like this it would be hard for anything to stick to the glass. I also remember reading that once it was perfected and in mass production it should cost under $15 a car.

It needs a small transducer connected to the windshield that vibrates the glass at about 30khz. Much like many military airplanes do, with the vibrating nothing will stay on the glass and there is nothing to block your vision. I know McLaren was working on system like this so they could do away...

If they did that they would be asking for a lot of trouble. People are not very observant and would be filling the containers with the wrong fluid. I for one want them far apart, I know what the difference is but others will just pour in washer fluid into the coolant and vice versa. Bad idea. I...

Well, my 2004 Tacoma bit the dust tonight on the way to the dog park. I was traveling 40mph when an idiot decided that I was not there and turned left in front of me. It did not turn out well, my truck is totaled. It was running perfect, never burned a drop of oil in the almost 149,000 miles...

Well if they don't deliver any car for anyone on the current reservation list they would not be bound to charge anything.

Yes it was last summer.

The same thing happened when they came to Springfield Mo. The only way I found out is I went to a fast food place and about 5 people came in wearing Elio polo shirts and I walked out and the Elio was sitting in a hotel parking lot about 100ft away. It was just lucky that I went out to eat that...

Seat is made in Spain and is owned by VW now.

Seats were terrible when i lived in Spain years ago. Hopefuly they have improved.

I don't think that was the problem, my guess is someone forgot to tighten them or left them out altogether.

Mine ended up in my spam folder, I have to keep checking it. Even after I set the rules after a few times it ends up there again.

Don't know yet, there used to be a video it is not there anymore. I hope it is an actual readout and not just an idiot light.

It depends on the sensor, I know they run on a battery that typically last 5-8 years. Hopefully the Elio's will tell you the pressure of each tire and not just show that 1 is low.

The Elio offers a TPMS for $84 it is most likely the only option I will get

Get the TPMS and it will tell you when a tire is low and then when you fill your tires it will tell you when the pressures are right.
