Going to spark the biggest discussion of them all..

its no secret one is looking for a land cruiser.....but it HAS to be auto, its so much easier offroad,and as apache says, if you se an out of control auto,the driver is not aware how to use the box properly.

sounds more and more attractive....

mr bio has a manual and he had a big bit of bouncing on saturday.

lol I have heard about his driving....

to be honest..............senor bio has a habit of driving his offroad vehicles rather...ahem....hard

Auto over manual every time the manual takes alot of work and thinking .....the auto controls the power for you........


Who care if the bio-jet works ............i can even part mud pools

[smiffy]

Chris what have you said!!!!

[yoshie]

People you see bouncing down hills out of control burning the brakes up are muppets, plain and simple.

Kerrsurf and Yoshie are Muppets then
Am so gonna pay for that now.
Nope never driven an auto surf, Driven an auto 1.2 Micra though
OK Al rephrase, i have never had a prob with MY Manual[/QUOTE]

I don't think you have ever seen my brake lights on a decent.
Don't get confused with hold the brakes dropping of an edge. Once off my feet are against the seat.

Brakes are a sure way of it going wrong.
Some of the clog decents are Low range AND L on the slush stick.
Although I agree with Andy 2 will handle almost any decent.

Toby most are moving to auto these days with good reason, they are better off road

[rambling angler]

I drive an auto purely for health reasons, it's so much easier to drive although I haven't been off road yet, I use the lower gears on my honda auto around here when going down steep hills with no problem, I always try to stay off the brakes as auto's eat pads for a past time compared with manual, people don't think to use the box on an auto & go all the way down a hill with their foot on the brake pedal.

A bit long winded I know & slightly veered off topic but my answer is Auto

Fair enough I am more and more thinking of getting an Auto....

Rite I am in the same boat a little + I think they might just be more relaxed.... and better....
But yeah I am in agony after a day off roading so think that a auto might be much better for me...

Auto box anytime. Instant take up,Keep the power on at all times, cant miss a gear. If you do any towing, it's a breeze, no having to dip the clutch all the time when in traffic. Any big motor must be auto in my book now.
