They are like any other auto car.

They should drive very similar to a n/a VL

They do have a few problems.

I reckon you should get an N/A for a first car mate.;)

Enough power and pretty reliable too, but like any car have their problems.

There is when your driving an N/A when it drop's down gear's when you dont want it or when it's in a higher gear when it should be in a lower gear. Nothing pisses me off more then a auto. Had a few bush bashing car's what have been both auto and manual. Manual's are more fun to drive imo. Rode dirtbike's all my life so ive alway's had manuals...

A manual is harder to keep on the boil than an auto, ya gotta keep stirring the pot with a manual as boost falls but an auto just kicks down and off it goes again. There is bugger all difference in power its just the smoothness of delivery.
