    No it's not. I prefer it though as I'm fully sick and tired of shifting gears.. I have been operating commercial trucks off and on for over 30 years. 140,000lbs every day in hills, towns and cities with 18 gears to shift.
    Every time I drive this car it feels like a midwinter vacation.
    Will weld for beer.
