^^^^^ YUP!!!!!

when my mom bought her benz, she got manual cuz i told her too, and she got manual.


but my auntie (who was at the dealership and bought her car the same time) she decided "ohh, its mercedes so it should be nothing but comfort without having to shift anything".

so my aunt bought a 7-speed auto/shiftronic bullshit.

so far, my moms mercedes has like 4k on it, no problems.

my aunties mercedes ... about 1,800 miles, and the gearbox is doing weird shit alreddy, so she wants to make MB dealer swap for a manual. if the auto tranny is showing bad signs at less then 2k, i think that means sumthing .... what will happen to it if she hits 4k ? 10k ? 50k ? yea ... u get the idea.

but manual - pretty good. shifts smooth, but at first you have to give them about 1K to fully break in and then it works good. and the clutch is super sensitive, you bearly let go and the car is rolling.
