...Sits back and watches the entertainment....

However, I'm not an autobox fan but have been pleasantly surprised. To say the car has 170,000 miles on it the box is smooth, I've changed it's oil but prior to that it appeared original.
Leaving it in drive it's usually doing what I want and has only been in what I'd consider to be the wrong gear a couple of times.
Only way to really tell it's changing is the change in rpm, having read all the scare stories I was worried it would be clunky but it's smooth as anything.
