Hi peeps,
As a fairly new Merc owner, 190E manual, (old Merc but new owner) I was wondering if there was any chance of you guys explaining the pro's and con's of having either a manual or automatic gearbox.
I ask because we have never had an auto except for 2 or 3 weeks at a time in Yank rentals and my missus is finding it a bit hard to use the maual box/clutch on this one.
I'm thinking of maybe trying to swap this manual 190E for a similar car with an auto box if there is no real downside to an auto.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
ps, what really annoys me is that I spent ages finding a really good car and then something like this crops up and I may as well have bought an old banger for £100, Arghhhhhh!!!!!
