    As a software developer and computer engineer I am morally opposed to automatic transmission!

    I know I'd love to get my hands on an FTO or GTO - but as this is my first car, I want something reasonably cost effective - and something that'll be reasonably easy to control and insure!

    I hate automatics too. It's a nice car. Not expensive either.

    Re: Am gonna buy this car

    For a day to day car it makes sense to go for an auto. I'd only buy a manual if i had money to burn and wanted a car i can rag the hell out of on track days at donnington.
    I don't live here any more.

    Re: Am gonna buy this car

    Dublin is traffic traffic traffic. Plus, I think manual transmission gives far too much everyday control over an engine...
