My god, how times have changed.
When I joined the 986Forum coming up on three years ago one of the first posts I made was a polemic about never buying another car with a manual transmission.
I was slagged mercilessly by the stick shifter crowd.
I must say I have moderated my position somewhat since then, to the point where today I would not specifically go after (another) Tipper car, but I wouldn't kick one out of bed either.
I think in the long run manual transmissions will go the way of the proverbial DoDo Bird, as manufacturers find it easier to meet emissions and fuel economy requirements if the computer controls the transmission rather than the driver.
The Box is a great ride, either way.
