Automatic cars and vans have come on leaps and bounds even over the last few years,once you get into a decent auto I wouldn’t think you’d want to get out of one modern autos today change gear super smoothly you hardly know it’s changed gear.

I think that’s right. Once you’ve had your first auto, you wouldn’tget another manual.

Slightly biased as I’ve been driving autos for 20 years, I can’t see the attraction of wiggling a stick around and constantly banging your left leg up and down, all you manual luddites will come over to the dark side soon whether you like or not, can’t get a manual electric van 😝

No thanks, stick with my manual bmw, happy with how it drives, like a rat up a drainpipe, they don't have indicators, no need for them  :)

It's not a GTD then....😄....I only like the GTI/R/GTD versions of the golf....any other model just seems a bit mundane and boring to me......

I went auto last year as the juddering from these new dual mass flywheels was starting to bug me

I went for a Vito sport 119 auto, remapped to 250bhp, what a great van to drive! definitely the best I've owned, its so car car like to drive, fully loaded with flappy paddle, auto parking , reversing up hill is so smooth!

 If you want fast just get a motorbike.

My street triple 675 will do 0 to 60 in 3 seconds, its great fun smoking 100k sports cars off the lights on a 5k bike 😂. And as far as bikes go mines only a middleweight...

Ive had auto cars and for most people they make total sense unless you are a bit of a boy racer at heart then you will want a manual...

As for electric cars, no chance if it doesnt produce noise and smoke it's not a real machine.

No all the latest sports cars are auto I have an Audi SQ5 8 speed auto 400 bhp and it’s much quicker than a manual and will give most bike a good run for  money  I have had big bikes in the past , Suzuki  GSXR 750 , hayabusa , most BMW sports cars are auto I have had , M3,M4,M5 all autos

Perhaps, but not by much and im talking about bang for buck.

It would take a lot of money in a car to beat a bike thats worth a grand.
