Glad I ordered the manual one :-)

Seriously, I had a gearbox failure on my old Scenic. It has an automatic handbrake that sets itself when the engine is stopped, and releases itself when the car drives away. With no gears, I couldn't 'drive' away and couldn't push the car out of the busy roudabout it was 'parked' in... doh. I was very very popular for a while, over there...

Kinda makes you wonder about all these electronic gizmos!
