True. If anyone wants an auto then go buy one if thats what you prefer. Defo nice and easy life for towing but not an issue for me. Certainly things will be different buying used but I could not see the point in spending £1500 when new and then more to tax and run. If you are into autos you will not see the cost as an obstacle but I would never change from manual. The auto makes perfect sense in discos and rangies cos they are massive but I find the FL2 quite nimble for a biggish 4x4 and the manual is epic IMO.
