Manual. I did not want an auto..spoilt after the PDK on Barbie, and I’m sure both you and Z agree that BMW and Benz autos take some beating.
I seriously considered a T4 FWD XC40, subject to a long test drive. Far better build quality, cabin ambience, but not very favourable reviews with regard to the auto box, and being a Luddite I prefer the simpler controls of Henry...prodding away at a touch screen for heater controls gets my goat as I have found with long term hire cars.
And who needs a sitty up girly car anyway which can carry fewer spare copier parts than a Focus Estate. And costs a whole load more money, although older T5s AWD models are dropping in price.
I loved Barbies heater controls. Simple toggle switches, and two very tactile push buttons fell to hand to adjust the heating without taking eyes off the road.
