low mileage carina 1.8 auto hatchback or 1.8 manual estate

[BrianMac]

Hi, I am looking to buy a low mileage carina e. I have seen 2 - 1.8 auto hatchback with 33k and 1.8 manual estate with 55k. Any advice on which is better. In particular if you have an auto I would love to hear your experience in terms of acceleration, mpg and trouble with the gearbox.

 

Many thanks

I think a lot comes down to what you want. I had both an auto and manual at the same time, and the auto was exactly that, it wasn't for me, but some people love the ease of driving an auto.
