The Mercedes Auto transmission used in the Crossfire is known to be very reliable and proven. The manual has the spotted past from what Ive read in reviews and forums. Ive had a ton of manual cars and raced them but I would hate to thrash a nice car like the Crossfire by clutch-poping to get a quicker start. Love the autostick and im sure many other do also. Nothing against manual but it just seems un-luxury for a nice car like this :wink: and besides Auto gets better gas milage on Crossfire
