Agreed, when you drive an auto – you realise how brilliant it really is…no more bouncing your left leg on the clutch pedal in stop/start traffic. I thought I would hate an auto until I bought one 30 years ago and just loved it. I asked the salesperson to reset the MPG counter and took an XC40 on a short 40 minute test drive a couple of days ago. It is a well built, refined and quality car, unfortunately it was a diesel..
