And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

As a fellow UK-er, the only real criticism I’ve heard about automatics is that it can be difficult to pull off quickly from a standstill - Have you found that at all?

Not at all. I have only owned the one automatic though so I can speak for all of them. I have a Volvo V60 D3 and the acceleration from standing is pretty damn good.
