i did order the manual !
far more active ! and only on the eD4 !
Manual for me. Want to be involved in the drive, wanted Start/Stop and lower road tax bracket.
hoping the stop/start lower emissions is on the 2012 or 2013 auto diesel. at present only the X3 diesel has auto stop/start low emissions system

Defender uk - I have exactly the same order!.....bar wheels
grt minds and all that!!!
lol
I have gone for the SD4 manual also for mpg and co2 reasons. Test drove one only for a short time at local dealer, the box was very smooth and only a short distance between gears.
Looking forward to a hopeful delivery in November but is subject to the Xenon fiasco????
not had chance to drive the manual at all!!! Only driven the auto....
Having driven both manual and auto I have to say both are good. If CO2/MPG are a priority then manual wins but not by much.
Also went for manual for CO2, mpg & company tax (mainly this) reasons.
