Hello everyone,
First off, great site, very knowlegeable community.
With a bit of luck I will be joing the surfers shortly, just sold my Alfa GTV but with the cash and a trade in (the Wife's Atoz) looking to get 3ltr td Surf.
I have seen quite a few autos and the odd one or two manuals, prices for parts for both seem very reasonable, at least compared to the Alfa.
What I would like to know is how does the manual compare with the auto. I have no preduces either way except maybe a feeling of being more in control of the engine with the manual. The auto is proabably more relaxing to drive.
How is mpg affected.
What is the normal expected life of the clutch on the manual.
Are the auto boxes good for 100k+ so long as fluid is changed regularly.
Are there any opinions as to why manual should be avoided in preference to the auto.
Any thoughts anyone, all replies greatly appreciated.
