My X1 is automatic and first one I have owned. Bought it cos I was fed up sitting in stop start rush hour commuting traffic, dipping the clutch in and out.
Week after I got it, in summer 2019, I got made redundant so no commuting!
Got a new job in Jan 20, got furloughed 10 weeks later, and been commuting across my hallway ever since!!
But love driving the car, even now 4 years later, I still find myself just going for a drive with no particular destination in mind and much of that has to do with the lovely auto gearbox. I love it and would never buy another manual car.
Missus car is manual and any time I drive that, I don’t need to think twice about clutches and changing gears. Can easily go from one car to the other and no issues around gearboxes.
