Probably heaps, but to be honest if it's the daily I can 100% understand getting an auto.

My daily is a manual, and I often wish it was auto instead.
The next daily will be auto.

ND auto for a daily is a splendid idea Dave. Honestly how often do you get to go through the gears with any anger driving to and from work?
I'm sure its better on the peninsular but around the city in Sydney it a real pain in the arse if you have to go through George Street in the middle of then day.
Vote 1 for an auto from me. I drive the Subaru auto if city bound every time.

Dave, can you post a photo of your phone mount. My dash one broke recently and I'm having trouble finding a replacement.

Dave,
I promise to give you sh!t in the nicest possible way if you turn up at club drives in the auto. I'm sure others will oblige as well.
of course, you can return the favour by reminding of 5 years as a wanker in a BMW.

ND auto must be impressive if you're considering this.

Yup. Shame about the lack of lsd though.
