First Gear question!

Interesting to get your takes on the manual and 33mpg makes my ears prick up, as that is v. good indeed. It really ought to score better than the auto around town, as the latter waste a lot of fuel revving in my opinion. But being able to eat a cheese sandwich while driving, or just holding your best friend , is a benefit of the auto that, once discovered, I'm loathe to lose (less wear on my knees too). But give me the open road, where the deer and the antelope roam, and the Bongos are running in lockout.

I'm becoming an old fart I fear ha ha

I get worserer and worserer. I meant 'my best friend's hand' of course. The centre console makes it quite impractical to hold any more interesting part of them while on the move, or even to make a move when not on the move
