If fantasy became reality and I found I could actually afford to buy a CX, it would definitely be an auto.

Hi Tim,

Most of these new "automatics" are really automatic clutches rather than auto transmissions. With flappy paddles you can use them entirely manually if you want to so you get the best of both worlds. Our main tintops have had them for years and they are great. Having said that I love my manual Fiat 500 which is a great little car to drive.

Hope you're well.

Best,

John
