Land Rover Discovery Sport manual

Manual? Why would you choose 3 pedals in any thing .... especially a potential towcar?

I have towed with Shogun manual and automatic, which is always in the correct gear with no clutch plate to wear out, and you can concentrate on the traffic and not have to think about the gears. You may get a couple of miles per gallon more if you don't over rev,  but is it worth it.

I have no experience of LR sport apart from seeing several on the back of breakdown trucks.  Gearbox is obviously your choice but when towing I prefer a manual box 

Because some people prefer a proper car

I am interested too.   Currently I have  a six year old manual Freelander which has been absolutely trouble free all that time, and will look at a manual Disco Sport when I come to change. 

Personally i wouldn't touch a manual Disco, will be very difficult to sell or part/ex and auto simply makes towing and driving easier. 

Going off the question about LR because we have never owned one, but we own a great towcar and a run around,   towcar is Mitsubishi and the other is Honda, but both are Auto gearboxes,  because I have worn out both my knees and hips changing gears on trucks for 40 years. 

So you can be in control ..... 😂😂

I wonder why a lot of proper cars are only available as autos .... 🤔

There are 5 cars at our house and the only one with a clutch pedal belongs to my daughter. 😉 My run about is a Smart .... polar opposite to the towcar
