Manual V Auto
« on: 23 April 2009, 19:44:57 »
My 2.6 CD,2001 on a 51 plate is a manual.
But I have not come across any other 2.6 manuals.
Does anyone know the percentage/numbers of manuals to auto's
Thanks
Dusty. :-* :-*

Much prefer the manual's, had a M-reg 2.0 GLS auto when migs were new in 97 I think the an N-reg 3.0 Manual ex-plod and now the W-reg 3.0 manual I much prefer the maunals although auto's are comfy.

Don't know the figures but given the nature of the Mig as a big old bus many will be auto. As a rule i prefer manuals but i would'nt rule an auto out as long as it's on a big car, small autos are awful.
   When i was cabbing in a 2.0 Mig i preferred the auto in traffic. :)

Auto is O.K..................but on my old 3.2 plod ........it would always change down from top into third...................every time the car went down even a shallow hill........when I wanted it to stay in top gear.
Manuals have more control in this respect. :y :y
