I've only ever had manual cars and love our NM DiD
, but our lease is up at the end of the year and we initially thought we would go the NS VRX DiD manual with family pack for the extra airbags and dvd for the kids.
But the more I think about it the more unsure I am. We do a fair amount of night driving in the suburbs and also on our Northern adventures towing our boat so the self levelling HID lights of the Exceed are appealing, we have never had leather seats before and I've only heard good things about them and then there's the Rockford stereo!
So this leaves us with a couple of questions;
1. What are the advantages of the manual gearbox and the auto gearbox?
According to the NS brochure the manual uses 15% less fuel.
I would imagine the auto would be nicer to drive in traffic.
2. Is the Exceed worth the extra money?
We will do a deal in December so there should be some heavy discounting then!
Even if we don't go the Exceed we still have to decide between the manual and the auto
. Our driving consists of mostly suburbs with two big trips per year towing our 2.5T boat up north mostly at night and the only real 4WDing we do is beach work between Lancelin and Wedge which can get very soft sometimes.
I would greatly appreciate your experiences and opinions on this.
Thanks,
Sandgroper.
