Options???

Thanks guys, been away around the Telford & Shrewsbury area for a couple of days, most of the country roads around there are 50mph limit with 30/40 through the villages, I must admit I did think whilst driving there that the 20i would be more than enough for my needs.

I also went for the auto gearbox on my new 20i, which is heaven.

Are the flappy paddles standard with the auto?
 
Yes they are. Also you can push the gear shifter to the left and then push to change down and pull for up (I use this more than paddles)
The auto is fantastic and loads better than my old manual that used to shake like a shitting dog when pulling off from a standstill when cold!
 
lol thanks for the reply, love the analogy :D

Can you push to the left and use it like a manual after you have started moving, or do you have to select it whilst stopped? Also if you leave it for a while will it just pop back into full auto?

Thanks
 
Push it across anytime, moving or not. Don't think it does pop back into auto on its own but it will change up for you if you hit the redline.
 
That's a clever system then! It's basically fool proof so you can never damage the engine!

I agree with all that Lux has said, I know that he has more experience of the auto gearbox than I have! I'm still experimenting with mine, had a great run out to Norfolk and back today (about 300 miles of non motorway roads), still happy with the 20i choice and the auto option.

Lux, where do you get these analogies from? Shitting dog indeed, I'm still sniggering about that. :D
