I know it's not the same car or box, but I had an Omega V6 estate auto and loved it for just that reason. Constant queuing in traffic was a breeze :)

Yer get the auto :dance: , first dibs on everything though :lol: :lol:

If you look after it and like most things we get the broken stories on here as people want their cars fixed so we rarely here the good stories, a good run in it will show faults then get the oils in the box changed asap.

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...

Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

I dont know anyone pulling 20mpg with an auto bud. Defo need different wheels and tyres for the weekend if you do mate, muds and mpg dont mix. That 2.8 will have spoiled you on the juice.
