I need an auto now, deffo auto hold has made manoeuvres a lot easier and i prefer having paddles so if needed you can have more control over gear changes, also those change’s are quicker so thats another bonus. The down side is most are programmed to change up at the earliest moment to save the planet, unless you have your foot to the floor. All in all i will not be going back. currently though i have a cvt and it has no gears when in D it just floats along smooth as anything.
