Flamesuit on?
I'm looking getting a VW beetle for the wife as it's long been her dream to have one. I've only ever been in or seen manuals. After reading adverts etc and poking around here I see that VW's come in a semi-auto configuration. What's the go? I've only ever worked on fully auto or stick shift so pardon the dumb question.
How does it work from a driving perspective? Clutch pedal for engagement with non-clutched changes?:duh
TIA people...

Sort of like pre-cursor to the modern tiptronics.
Has a gear stick but no clutch pedal

Is it only two speeds (for memory)? Ii used to drive one and I think it just had first and second.....
I quite liked it.

they have 3 speeds ,just take your hand off the shift whilst driving as they go back to neutral when the stick is touched

i drive a semi-auto... just a clutchless shift
Low gear, then first range, and second range.. you just tke your foot off accellerator, and slam it from one gear to the next🙂
they were designed to make driving easier and attract the female market apparently..

My mates bought a new commodore, and its got semi-auto. Apparently, its like a 4x4 where you can selected manual (which is tip-tronic on the steering wheel without a clutch) or full auto.

That's different altogether. It's not semi-auto.
