It's your money.It's easy for everyone else sitting at a computer to tell you what you should buy, because it's not thier money being spent. If doing a lot of driving in city traffic the manual is a pain in the arse to most people. Just depends on how and where you drive it most of the time. Also, don't be swayed by this crap about autos being for pussys. If you want a manual get one, if an auto suits you, get one Edited 28/05/13 07:45 AM by Quasi XR6T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85088-fg-mkii-xr6t-manual-or-auto/#findComment-1393338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt see the value in paying 2k extra for an auto on a 40k car.

The auto is nothing like the 4-speed, but then the manual is a sh*tload better too. They only plausible thing you can do is take both for a decent run.Great Ocean Road conjures up images of wide open flowing road, but from my experience it's probably one of the slowest most congested stretches of road in the country. So a manual may actually become frustrating if that's your daily commute.
