Evening Wrap
The 5 at 5 And relaxing drives.
MOST MOTORISTS IN Ireland drive cars with manual gearboxes, but automatics can make life a lot easier especially in stop/start traffic – and if you’re one of those ‘grind it till you find it’ kinda drivers!
They are also well suited to those who have mobility issues and perhaps can’t shift a manual gear selector or operate a clutch.
We’ve rounded up a variety of motors with automatic gearboxes, for a variety of budgets, that are available to buy on DoneDeal right now.
