Automatics... urgh.. I've driven many automatics (Subaru Legacy, Toyota Avensis, Renault Clio, Chevr..er..Daewoo something or other, Honda Jazz...) and all were utter shite. When I put my foot down, I want more power from the engine and not be catapulted on the "kick down". :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: I will NEVER own a car with an automatic transmission - not as long as good old manuals are available.
