its also a semi-auto box (dont know what it is called) knock the gearshift to the left and you can go through the gears like a manual 
but it is one thing i will be looking into changing to a manual box, i do like manual's 
but for the money i paid for it couldnt really turn round and say "ermm sorry its got an auto box"

Sequential

But still auto, unlike, for eg, DSG

Not a proper sequential either. 

It's an auto box through and through. and they are best left to change gear themselves IMHO. Overriding the changes only highlights the frustration of losing 2000+ RPM between each gear... IMHO

Like the saloon, a bit rarer/better looking than the hatch imo. Fitting a manual box is probably cheaper/easier than replacing the slush box when the oil cooler fails. It may be 2011, but pink mayonaise is never fashionable Crap in snow too, won't let you start in a gear higher than third.

Whatever still wrong wheel drive with too much weight and power.

That engine should have stayed where it belonged

In a sunbeam/talbot/rootes microbox of some rust ridden persuasion if Martin had had his way!!

In an Omega rather than a WWD heap

No an Omega - it is the Omega engine with different intake stuff

  Every time I think of the Hillman Avenger we had on the ghost fleet I shudder - what a dog.

Depends on your teacher. First application of the 54deg V6 was in the Chavalier / Vectra / Calibra, surely? Only later did it get fitted to the RWD cars when the C26/C30 engines were dropped, so one could argue where it truly belongs.

Who actually cares, anything which lowers the number of WWD cars is a good thing.
