If i ditch the need for a manual gearbox it opens up much more potential contenders. And to be honest an auto probably suits my use case more right now
Bought a new car today and it's an auto, never had one before but I thought exactly the same. After driving it for a few hours already glad I went this route for schlepping around.
To be honest i might give up on trying to get something fun at this stage.
So far I've suggested the following to the wife:
Mazda 3 mps
Mk2 Focus st3
Hawkeye impreza wrx wagon
All of these were a no because they look like boy racer cars.
