    In a recent study it was found that manually changing gear uses up to 50% of your brain's capacity
    Can you provide a link to this study?

    How do you find out what kind of autobox a car has?
    Eg, what does a mk4 Astra auto have?


    IIRC the Mk4 Easytronic has a conventional looking gear lever but with no gaiter. Instead of the gaiter there is a silver disc and a drawing/legend of the gear positions below it.

    The automatic version has a straight gate.
