Re: Why automatic?
Traffic can get bad - especially on the motorways. I've sat in my share of queues o the M25 or the M1. The benefit of working form home is that the daily commute is fairly easy. If I need to see a client, I usually do that outside of rush hour. That said, I’ve been snagged up in jams from time to time.
The Crossfire clutch is heavier than my previous cars were - and when I first got the car, my leg started going dead. I tweaked the seat position and that problem seems to have gone away.
