It was my wife's desire to have an automatic due to her illness /mobility issues which led to me getting the '8 and I have in general been quite happy - and encourage her - to use it as she was previously used to driving and parking large cars (e.g. Volvo 740/V70). Although she usually tears off up the road with her foot to the floor just to wind me up, she is very sensitive to the fact that I would be devastated to get it damaged and so is very careful about parking. Its one good thing about disability parking spaces if you can find them - they are BIG!
The one thing she finds difficult (being vertically challenged) is not being able to judge the extremities of the car when parking (the old Volvos were easier) and so is reluctant to use it around town so we are looking for a second hasnd, small auto town car.
