I have recently bought a 2006 Mini Cooper S Supercharged, and I regret getting it now. I was about to get a manual 2003 Mini Cooper S Supercharged, but the day I got to the dealership, they have sold it. I was pissed, and I ended up getting the 2006 Mini Cooper S. I regret it because it is a automatic with a 6-speed steptronic transmission. I bought it because it was a really good deal and now I have questions. PLEASE HELP!! I was wondering; what is the major differences between a MANUAL and AUTOMATIC? THANKS
