I'm new at this..and need some info..
I'm looking to purchase a MINI very shortly and want to know if auto or stick
is better. I've driven a MINI (stick) in Italy but feel more comfortable with automatic. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions for me.
:smile:

Test drive them both and then you can decide what you like the best.

A friend of mine bought a 6 speed Passat less than a year ago. Only to realise that he did not like the idea of changing gears the rush hour traffic. He now has a VW Station Wagon Diesel Automatic Transmission.

Having said that I would tell you to examine your driving routes and habits before you make your purchase. Personally I enjoy the control you have in driving stick rush hour or not.

End result - the final choice is yours.

P.S. Mods may want to move this to the appropriate Forum

Please try searching around the forums - there have got to be at least ten threads on this topic by now. I've seen at least three just in the past week.

CVT vs Manual

Click above for a discussion on this topic that we had before. Since the other discussion got a little out of control, this one is all constructive. It may help in your decision.
