yep the new autos are better off road than manuals, the so-called he-men don't believe it till they try it and then they get the shock of their lives. Autos with manual override (sportshift or whatever) are GREAT offroad and minimise drive train damage as well cos they take the shock out of the system.

PS I know heaps of people disagree with this BUT I've been convinced over the years having changed from manual to full auto and now auto 5 speed with sportshift. To me there's no comparison, I won't have a manual again.
