Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Having driven both.

I own an auto, it suits the car better and how I use the car.
I do lots of town driving and stop start stuff. Would hate a manual for that.

I would suggest you drive both and see what one you like better.

Always been a manual man, but after test driving the D3 auto, I was hooked, Now absolutely love it.

If I get manual withdrawal symptoms I take my MX5 out for a 'do'.
