Garfield Jun 2019 6:54am, 19 Jun 2019 10,587 posts	0 Garfield I have to drive an automatic car...or take my drivers test over again. That was because of transferring my Canadian licence over, and they don't specify what kinds of car we can drive. I have driven both auto and standard in my day but I don't like handling the clutch, brake business sitting on the wrong side of the car and road.
FenlandRunner Jun 2019 7:06am, 19 Jun 2019 2,046 posts	0 FenlandRunner Because the DSG spins up the next gear ready it is so incredibly smooth, I remember luxury cars of only a few years back that you could feel the gear change, but with the DSG box it is unnoticeable.
