So, I'm a little behind the times here, is that car gone?

Yes it is, never mind - seemed people on this list are not keen on autos anyway.

How come that is?

It takes all the fun of having such a brilliant short shift gearbox away.
And they break more often... IMO

Being just a 'woman' driver, can you tell me then how to get the most out of this short shift gear box. I only have one problem with mine, that it is hard to get into second gear when car first starts.

I'm not an expert but it could be low gearbox oil level. I'm sure this ones
been documented in the lists before... A Manual gearbox gives you the
option of changing gear at the optimum point, when you decide, not when the
automatic decides - therefore acceleration through the gears should be
faster, and much more fun

Sports car. Automatic gearbox. These are two entirely contradictory
concepts.

oh it is much more fun, I love to be able to control the car myself rather
than the car control me - perhaps the woman driver thing is a myth after all!
