  Don't let Carbikebus hear this. He is SBST captain. All SBST & SMRT buses use auto gear. The bus captains press buttons to change gear.
  
  But seriously, I wonder what would happen if all cars were fitted with Voith D.863 gearboxes in future. Don't have to worry about the engine styalling if you have to halt suddenly.

  I prefer Auto too.
  
  Well, manual is fun, but the fun wears out soon. Singapore simply has too many traffic jams around to properly enjoy the thrills of driving a manual car.
  
  Seems like many others prefer auto as well. Car distributors like Borneo (Toyota) price auto cars $4000 above manual ones.

  THat's why we need vehicles fitted with Voith D.863 gearboxes. Change of gear at push of a button. Even better.

  "In the late 1980s Ferrari had pioneered a paddle operated semi-automatic gearbox that of course found its way on to a road going Ferrari in the form of the Ferrari 355 F1. This gearbox is now available on two of the three Ferrari models, the 360 and the 575." -Ultimatecarpage.com The third model is the Enzo.
