So many different kinds of auto box these days I find it all quite confusing....
I’ve no preference either way, but really liked the PDK box on the Macan GTS. Equally the manual box on the GRYaris is a delight to use, and on my numerous rental cars it’s interesting how shift quality varies from car to car.
Two people I know have irrational fears of auto boxes...simply would never consider one.
One person wanted a replacement Lexus but wouldn’t buy one because they weren’t straight forward 6 speed manual, and another wanted an Audi S3 but again wanted a ‘normal’ manual so hunted for ages until they found one of the last 2017 manuals....citing reliability issues .
OTOH I have friends who after years driving auto boxes would never revert to a manual
Ideally I’d prefer an auto with flappy paddles...the 208 GT Auto rental I had worked a treat, but it’s never going to be a deal breaker for me.
Strange old world...
