The End of The Manual Gear Box?

The End of The Manual Gear Box? I don’t change cars very often.  They seem to last a long time with me.  But for the last few months I’ve been considering buying a new car.  My Golf 4motion is getting a bit old.  I never really had much time to do any research to see what’s [...] [...more]
