Really!?!?
Manual gearboxes explained?
Then again, how many reading this only have a category 'B Auto' licence, rather than simply a 'B'??

Personally I'm not a fan of automatics
1. Our Jaguar XKR was auto
(no factory manual option, at that time, there's not a manual option on the present F-Type either!!!)
2. Joannes (present) Toyota C-HR (even if only just 'Drive', no 1/2/3/4 positions)
3. The hire car in Florida (Feb 2012) was one... a dreadful thing!!
4. Driven a few auto Range Rovers & Discoverys
The L322 TDV8 was interesting, & I'd love one of the (rare) manual models
(none of the present models..... don't like any of them)
One of the worst autos, I've driven was a Discovery 300Tdi, & that had a delay between accelerator & movement that was glacial
(no wonder LR uprated the Tdi, over the manual version)
