I vote yes. I don't sit here getting all stressed and take this debate seriously. It's just that I can't resist letting fly with childish pointless witterings that achieve nothing.

Thanks Doc.
Volvo C70 due to be changed and we test drove a Peugot 3008 1.6 diesel auto (electronic gear change) it was horrendous, pulled away smoothly but actually SLOWED as if you braked each time it changed gear. Tried using paddle shift and same result. Salesman said "the guy who drives this one complains but all the same"

A pity because it would have suited our 2nd car needs perfectly, Land Rover could learn from some of the features especially rear seat, luggage compartment fittings and cover. All FL2's (3) Gone

It's a 911 Rolling Eyes

A nice drive in a Ferrari around a track with a manual box is proper involvement. Of course the worlds fastest car the Veyron SuperSport is an auto/semi auto but having driven flappy paddle DB9 and the manual box 360 Spider, I preferred the 360 gearbox.

In any case we are worlds away from the FL2 here LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
