Increasing number of gears and increasing time in traffic jam just call for auto.
I love driving manual as race driving is not in my mind on public roads.
So for the company tin top - auto is best.
All the rest is manual...
And somehow I like the feeling of knowing a car better than any other person an being able to ride it smoothly at any speed;-)
Driving pleasure should be more than simply putting the foot down.
