Nah, that used to be the case but not anymore. These days automatics are more fuel efficient than manuals.
Where do you volunteer at?
I guess that’s feasible. Last time I looked into it was probably 1997…

I may be wrong though. I did a little bit of research before buying the car and saw articles like these:

I specifically look for automatic cars only. It is just much easier in traffic, and I brave the Joburg Parking lot called the N1 every day. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a manual car.

I might take a look at this tomorrow out of interest (it won’t sway me from buying a manual for my next car though ;)), but I have to get going. Got hockey tonight.
Bloody heck I’m tired, almost falling asleep at my desk. Gonna need to chug a pre-workout (not that I don’t normally)

automatics are nice, ive been driving one everyday for the past 7 years now, they big headaches occur when something goes wrong with the gearbox, i was quoted R50k for a replacement box from audi a few years ago, luckily i picked up a 2nd one for cheap, funnily R50k is still considered cheap because the DSG dual clutch boxes are close to 100k to replace and the mechatronic control modules for those are around 35k to replace

My car is an automatic and I love it. I used to think autos were for old farts, but traffic is much more tolerable now.
Maybe I’ve just become an old fart though.

I’m also of the mindset that automatics are for old ballies

Every rental car I’ve gotten recently in Durban was automatic. I think it would be great for Joburg traffic.

So after last night’s Nvidia announcement, who’s upgrading to the new RTX 2080?
Morning everyone.
The only people that would upgrade would be people with more money than sense. Those prices are insane!!
