    GR86 Would you consider trading in a manual for auto gearbox?

    In south east traffic (London and counties) auto is a no brainer daily driver. Eats up the miles without drama but if you want the drama (in a good way ) it is still a great sports car in track+sports mode. Or in full manual mode. Eye sight system really does work, perfect for stop and go or...
