V70T5 Manual v Auto

[MacXC60T5]

This will not be news to the ones in the know, but just picked up my first manual V70T5 previous 2 being Auto and 2 Auto S80 T6,s. I will never go back to an Auto again I am amazed at the difference in every driving aspect. To drive a V70T5 as it should be driven "balls to wall lads were off" Can,nt wait to get it chipped and other bits.

Can't speak for the V70, but I've driven both auto and manual 850 T5's thousands of miles each, and both have their good and bad points.

In many respects I prefer automatic, but I still went with a manual when I got the S60. I think the 850 is more suited to the autobox, though.
