You WILL change your mind one day. I was like you at your age. In fact it appears I may have become the person I used to despise when I were a lad. I changed my mind after a 6 hour trip coming back from Cardiff to Formby with stop start traffic on the M6. Eventually I was crying in pain. To be fair, since I've had the omega, I've never felt that I was in the wrong gear. The wife's mk6 Astra? It has that irritating thing when you are in cruise at 70 on the motorway and you come to a gentle incline, of dropping from 6th to 5th. But that's a robotised manual box, which is "more modern" and also being bottom of the range, it doesn't have that all essential sport mode.

Preferably with a smaller engine. I had a 1.8 Cdi Auto given to me free in 2004 and the gap between 2nd and top was so large it was full of illegal migrants attempting a crossing in stolen fishing boats. Wish I'd kept* that car. Are the 8 speed autos done with 8 different gears or is it a CVT with programmed steps (like the 54 plate 6 speed A200 turbo I test drove with CVT last year * fecking ace car but gearboxes are chocolate so didn't buy) S2000, Stevebrookman and Jamie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real cars have 3 speed slushboxes. I generally prefer a manual but have a few automatics, they are generally much cheaper to buy secondhand and give a different but not unpleasant driving experience when you are used to them.
