Now I always used to be a manual lover and auto hater but last year bought a new auto diesel.....at the time mainly due to injury as I couldnt change gear with my left hand.
Having now had it a year no fucking way would I buy a six speed manual one, six speed manuals are cool if they are sequential and attached to a twostroke motorcross bike and can be shifted at full throttle no clutch all day every day.
On the road with the public and traffic they just suck balls.
Backing anything they suck balls.
Towing they suck balls.
Too many fucking gears and reverse is invariably geared for about 90kph.
Auto on the other hand nowadays learns how you like to drive and if there is a hill or bendy bit of road then there is manual mode....which is generally better than a real manual because you can change faster and seamlessly without upsetting the vehicle balance........ except for clutch dumps cos ya cant do that.
