OK here's a different tac on the manual gearbox question. As a company car driver the auto box on the E220CDI pushes it out of my budget due to higher emissions and cost (without dropping some great toys) so it looks like I'm stuck with the manual option.
I've read the reviews about auto vs manual and although I love a manual gearbox I'd go for the auto given chance, so I don't want to go down this conversation again.
The problem is I can't find any dealer that's got a manual car to demo and I want to know if it's as bad as people say. I currently drive a Vectra 2.0 SRI with a notchy gearchange but if the Mercs on par with that then I won't be too dispointed.
Has anyone got one of these? What are your thoughts? Should I avoid it and find an alternative?
