I think the only cars I have driven where I was glad they were autos we're American floaty boaty things.. It was useful to have both hands focused on the steering to avoid going off in the hedges!
Surely a British sports car just has to be manual.
No, thats old fashioned. These days it has to be auto with flappy paddles and a built in throttle blip. Its a bit like ABS - the purists turn their noses up but the vehicle always stops quicker with abs than without. And the Porker I tried with the DSG box was superb at gear changes, way better / faster / smoother than I could ever manage.
