So this auto holds up well to a high percentage of manual mode usage then right? I test drove an auto today and it was great, BUT, there was something lacking. Could not work out exactly what it may be. After a while I thought about it and figured out that what was lacking was the feel/excitement/interaction you get from a manual. I have asked the dealer to call me when he has a manual demonstrator for a test drive. Having said that, I still may opt for an auto cause the traffic here in Melbourne sucks and is only going to get worse cause our lousy government is bringing in immigrants and doing NOTHING about our roads or public transport system.
So now waiting for the dealer to call
