Hey all thinking of getting a 5th gen and so far can only find an automatic in my area. Was just wondering if the auto is one of those fancy triptronic trany's or is it just a plain old automatic?

Also besides the obvious 3.0L to 3.5L v6 power upgrade what other changes have been made between 2000-2003?

 

its not a tiptronic, just an automatic.

Other changes include a redone interior. Different seats, Different steering wheel, Different shifter, more things come stock, Xenon headlights

Appearance outside is different as well, Chunkier look

 

Thanks for your help I was a little thrown off by the gated shifter on the auto so wasnt sure
