Nope, I plan to learn/take my test in a manual. Also, both my parents have manuals so I'm ok there! I did know that you can only drive an auto if you take the test in one but thanks for the heads up anyway!

Agree....and if you do find a small engined auto (Astra ect) normally bloody expensive compared to manual.

Wife"s learning too drive in an auto....she"s a woman so gears are obviously too complicated. ;D

manuals are more economical and a tad quicker, the autos are so easy and so lazy, thus more comfier and relaxing

couldnt have a small auto though, it would have to be omega sized!

lol i was once like you.. then i drove my 3.0 manual...
you can just do so much more in them!
you can drop the clutch in a straight line into second and get it sideways... it's easier to control it going sideways and you just drop to whatever gear you want, ram on the go pedal and it goes sideways instead of the autobox droppin to 1st-sideways then changing to second so you get masses of grip and it launches you the opposite way!

The Mrs had a Hyundai accent auto...buzzy little thing,great round town but not so good on the m11.. ;D (especially when being towed home).

All this talk of auto"s is doing me no good....might have too chop the recently acquired 2.5 estate in for a 2.5 estate auto. ;D
