Default Auto or manual

Thought you were asking a question whether to go auto or manual but you seem dead set on a manual, why?

I swore I would never own an auto and I never wanted Air conditioning even though I use to service them. Now days I refuse to not have aircon and I drive an auto though a spinal injury brought that about even though I can still drive a manual.

The newest of Autos can shift better and get better fuel economy than a manual in some vehicles. An auto turbo diesel doesn't struggle with any low down lag issues either.

Off road I reckon the auto gets the power down smoother as well.

Maybe you should try an auto if you haven't already, then again if you really only want a manual thats fine, just putting it out there. Good luck with what ever you get.

Jeep dealers cause issues with Jeeps.

Other brands car dealers fix issues.

Just something about driving a manual .. I was going to move towards an auto if it got me a newer model diesel, but I'm leading towards a petrol manual model now

Was looking at a 4wd or sports car, just always feels like more fun when you're driving a manual
