The reason the bill would be so high is because German parts and labour has always be extortionate! I reall don't know why people buy German cars when Japanese ones are cheaper and far more reliable.

I prefer auto gearboxes. They're better for fuel economy, since the gear changes are programmed to change at the optimum rev. (e.g Toyota Prius) Manual gearboxes change when YOU say they do, hence, fuel economy varies (e.g Volkswagen Bluemotion technology).

Also, why is it when people buy a car they want, electric windows, electric sunroof, power steering, electric mirrors and electric seats, but when it comes to the gearbox, they want manual? It's illogical!

I suggested a QOTW about strange dreams. Didn't get picked up.
