I always think an automatic is something I'll have when I'm old. The manual box on that BMW 3 litre engine is wonderful.
Auto used to mean P-N-D-2-1 It doesn't anymore. Some cars have semi auto which is paddleshift including many 911's which is brilliant and most would never go back to a manual as its ponderous and slow to change with a foot clutch. The plus six has paddleshift or a sophisticated auto box.
I know, but I still never feel like I'm driving the car with one.
