I bought my first auto in March this year. Always thought them a bit 'soft'.... My 1 series was only available in a step auto and I thought, 'That's fine, I'll use the manual option all the time'. I've never used it. From the moment I drove it home I began to realise what I'd been missing. I spend a lot of time (far too much time) stuck in traffic mornings and evenings and my clutch foot thinks it's Christmas already..... The car's got a modicum of pep with sporty settings and reacts perfectly quickly enough for me. I doubt that I'll ever go back......
