Default Re: Why automatic?

Automatic + cruise control. What the hell do I do with my feet?!?!

I have to say that manual transmission is partly a personal choice. I really like the physical process of driving, and the whole clutch/gear change routine is as important to me as steering. It’s me controlling the car, changing gear when I want to and when I need to. The clutch really helps at times for braking, getting round bends.

We have some great windy country roads here, and to be totally honest, I really can’t imagine driving around them in an automatic. The whole fun of it would be missing.
