Haveing bought a 200tdi auto i can say thay ar faster and nicer to drive than man`s i left my m8 behind a junctions and on the moterway he couldnt keep up i have a 300tdi ma too and i think it would leave that behind too 200 or 300 i dont think it would matter its just a case of finding a rust free one the 200 i just got need some welding ect but it realy drives well as for off road i have a v8 rangie auto some years ago and that was ok off road just never in the wrong gear for hill`s just hit the gas more.

sorry to buck the trend guys but I am never buying an auto again. Hateful hateful hateful.
Off road is an exception. Fantastic and love it. As mentioned above you cant spin the wheels as easy so towing big vans out of mud is a doddle. Up and down muddy hills is good too.
Towing. Dont even bother. I am on my second engine now (nothing to do with towing, blame it on veg oil) and this new engine is not much better at towing my 25ft caravan. I have been down to 40mph up hills with the 'van on the back. I have taken the kick down off which has helped but even so.
MPG I get about 23 solo and 17 towing. Dr ed on here has a 200tdi manaul and gets low 30's solo. So I loose 10mpg for being an auto. I rarely drive mine now. Mine hasnt been off the drive for a month. Very tempted to sorn it soon.
So sorry to be a killer but these are my thoughts.

like people have said about diesel autos,they are only getting around 21mpg to 25,my v8 rangie will do 17,thats not even 10 more miles on a gallon,and how much cheaper is petrol than diesel,also the the 3.9 rangie and discos are far cheaper to buy,something worth thinking about mate :D
Range Rover Blues:
My sister gets 21 MPG towing and almost 30mpg solo, with a 300 TDi auto RRC softdash, 100,000 miles odd.
