When that is the case in India, I really hope that there is a good automatic sedan costing less than 8L
I am not against automatics, just against their cost, compared to the MT version of the AT car

Actually I know a guy who does it for about 2K. I have no idea how or why he does it, but he is hired by a close friend of mine and I have seen him drive. He is quite good. Also even if it costs one 6K, having a good driver will allow the owner to relax in the back. 18 months is a good period of time. It's one and a half years and for someone who sells their car every 2 or 3 years, that is a good VFM option.

Good ones are still rare, but sometimes needs must.
