Because instead of the car changing gear for you, you have to move that thing next to your left knee... thats the difference between auto/manual...

The worst thing Vauxhall ever did was do an auto gearbox option on the Corsa, great for people who wish to be lazy or disabled or people who've passed their test in an auto... No such thing as performance however!

My old Corsa (pics in garage) that I had ages ago was a 1.2 16v auto, even a lawnmower could race and win against that!

I've seen the light now, and I'm buying a Corsa GSi!

BTW - that car could do an indicated 60mph in '2nd gear' redlining it, I take it such a thing is not possible in a 5 speed manual box with the same engine?
