My car is a manual. I didn't get on very well with the auto.

I like it a lot. I appreciate other cars in the class have a better engine, but I love the look of the car, spec and the interior.

Handling is nowhere near as bad as some reviews say even if the steering is very numb.
I don't mind numb steering. You really don't want to feel the roads I mostly drive on. It has enough feel to tell when it's starting to break away and the traction control is about to come on and that's all you need really. The handling improves a lot for fast driving in sport mode. (4C suspension)
