Nothing wrong with the Auto, can still drive in manual if you want, and when booting it from a standing start they take off faster then the manual's because there is no gears to flaff about with, kickdown is well cool, certainly throws you in the back of your seat. Only downside is they are no good on track, no engine braking makes it hard to slow down quick enough and if you try and boot it exiting a chicane it trys to kickdown and throws you the wrong way.
Can the wife not drive manual cars then Jay??????? she'll love the scoob.
