I'm an oddball as I like the sound of automatic cars (the constant engine speed and smooth transition to a lower constant engine speed... Maybe this is just old automatics?), especially on big engines... But at the same time I don't really like automatics having inherited my Dad's bias and not owned one yet to be able to see for myself.

Although this thread has gone on for four pages so it's posyible we're arguing about handbrakes by now again anyway.

Why would you buy a car like that??!!
Unless you're going to use it for driving around the sundeck of one of your super-yachts, it just seems insane...!!

Jeez, and I thought the wife was nuts for buying a Merc!!!

Because it was a third the price of a manual and half the price of a standard auto because everyone is scared of the the box!

With my mileage it's another 2-3 years before its due a change anyway, so I can either budget for it then, sell it before hand or ignore it and just drive it in to the ground.
