I'm not selling mine, but I can tell you what it's like. The automatic
transmissions in the Wasserboxer models are more reliable than the
ones in the air-cooled models (which I'm sure the wife wouldn't want
anyway) and they're also more reliable than the Wasserboxer manuals,
as well. My auto is as fast as a stick-trust me-but it likes to
upshift quickly, and you have to manually gear down, because
otherwise, it's impossible to toe-tap downshift without floorboarding
the gas. Autos are nice to drive, and there's no clutch to mess with,
either. :)
