Thanks again.

You are welcome. I will be happy to answer any question you may have on HAH.
I wonder if HAH ride is closer to EX-V6 auto than EX-V6 6MT. Given the audience Ex-V6 6MT is targeted at, I wouldn't be surprised if 6MT is tuned for tighter handling than auto. I am a strictly manual transimission guy. If HAH were to be available with MT, I wouldn't even have looked at AT. This is the only time I have bought a car with AT and only because I wanted to buy a hybrid. My previous experience with AT has been with rental cars only, primarily Ford and GM. I simply did not like AT in any rental car I had driven (except the one time I got a Nissan Maxima which was not bad at all). I went to test drive HAH expecting to not like the transmission, but was pleasantly susprised by how well the AT does. It is fairly smooth and I found it actually chose the right gear most of the time. Since buying HAH, I have driven through mountains many times and I never felt the need to shift to D3. HAH chose the right gear whether going uphill or downhill. This still will not change my mind about buying cars with MT only, but I think a little better of AT now
