[928uk] Autocar

[Sharkmaster]

Yeah, there's 2 issues here. First is an easy one. Auto vs Manual is down
to personal preference. I used to be all into manual, but find that I enjoy
an auto in regular driving when the car is really a comfy chair in my own
little space, with good sound system to make the best of tedious work
journeys, particularly start stop driving. I would miss not having manual
cars to enjoy when I want to & the GT is that.

The second issue is the format of the manual gearbox & it's suitability for
LHD/RHD cars. Totally agree Andrew, any decent driver adapts to the gearbox
throw & layout, so it's irrelevant & imho nonsense to suggest that the
dogleg gearbox is less suited to RHD!
