70AARCUDA I have manual transmission.
Never used an automatic in my life (so would take some time to get used to it).
It is also little more expensive while buying and also in repairing from what I've heard.
So I would probably stay with manual even if it wasn't only for 2.0TD in Poland ;>
I live in Wroclaw - 170 km from Poznan.
Please give my regards to your grandfathers
I also have some of my closest family abroad (France - Paris, USA - LA, Canada - Toronto, UK - Chichester).
Guess world is a small place after all.
