seriously u guys!
my tilly is an auto and workhorse and never given even a hint of gbox issues at 130k, if i had the money id have it.
i know they have had a bad rep but these auto's are the best and most easiest to drive on long journeys.
as much as i love the manuals i actually found myself wishing id taken tilly(auto) to pick up my missus from the airport(Stansted) the other day, thanks to the A14 being blocked with stop start traffic for about 8 miles.
don't judge the auto's so harshly ,they are a nice car to drive.
