Drove a manual six weeks ago I think it was,and drove the auto on Thursday.
The tiptronic style box on the auto is very smooth,I like it,and if I buy one it will be the auto.Pull back to go up a gear,and push forward to go down,dead simple,and gear is indicated on dash,wont need any ripshifters or the like,and for me,with our roads,traffic,etc,it's as quick as the manual.But I guess the track day boy's will all want the manual.
Whilst I'm on,anyone want to make an offer for my fastest colour(black)04/54 VXR, number 50,mine since new,13000 miles,full history,totaly standard so you can opt for your own mods.
