I prefer driving Manual Vehicles on the open country roads, but when it comes to driving in town where your often caught up in slow moving or stop/go traffic an Automatics far more enjoyable, no riding the clutch etc.
I think the Galaxy has a DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) auto box...these pre select a gear above or below the gear your driving in so regardless of whether you accelerate or decelerate the box already has the next gear ready to drive...makes for a nice smooth box.
My Skoda Superb has a DSG and I love it, it's had no maintainance other than service fluid changes, really cant fault it.
I really like Skoda Superbs. Drove them for the past 10 years. Would have gone for another one but my family requirements mean I need a 7 seater now.
