kimstrong Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I am taking a new 453 5-speed out for a test drive as soon as this blizzard is by us. It is a Passion model and has the navi system. I may also take a Passion 6 speed auto out as well - it has the docking cradle thing. I will offer more once I have driven it (them). My gut says a 6-speed auto makes more sense but the manual sounds like more fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Buy now or never get one! The gasoline model will be sold out at the end of 2017 model year. This version is being discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Having driven a few of the automatic ones, don't count it out for driving fun. The twinamic DCT is light years beyond the old transmissions, shifting fast and smooth… barely perceptible. Having also driven loaners with the smartphone dock and Car2go vehicles with the nav system, i much prefer the latter. Overall, though, the 453 cars have really impressed me thus far.
