Sure. --- Post updated --- True. That's why I rather have an automatic in traffic jam-prone Malaysia.
As a matter of fact, Datsuns aren't sold here and no one would get one anyway. Do you really need to put some anti-european crap in everything you post?
The Fiat Multipa, it's just downright ugly. Also, any beater car that could break down at any moment.
Driving in the city is never fun, but is it really that annoying? I ride my motorcycle (manual, of course) two round trips a day everyday to work and it's nothing but a bit of fun when going to work, an automatic car would make it even more depressing.
I'd actually love to have a car with optional self-driving. I've had my commute route for years, and it's less interesting than radio commercials.
