F-type manual - anyone bought or tried one

[Wayne95]

Hi All,

Just had a. V6S for the weekend, did the long motorway trip, went across the Brecons and through Welsh B roads.

Never been a fan of autos, and was pretty frustrated initially using the full auto mode. Went quickly on to sport mode and used gears manual - much more like it and on some B roads it certainly made things fun.

However I still hanker after a manual but there are so few around and no demos I can find yet.

So anybody tried one, or gone all manly and ordered one?

Hi,

Thanks for the info, would be great to hear how you get on. I too have had boxster/911 so will be interesting to see how it compares, the 911 is also the "other" choice on the cards.

I am sure the auto is ultimately faster, but on today's speed restricted roads I think the extra interaction is what I am looking for.

You are right about availability, my dealer has no idea how he would get one for me to try out...
