Buying an L200: manual or automatic?

Anyone shopping for an L200 runs into this, and there are strong opinions in both camps. Manuals get asked for specifically often enough that it is worth a thread of its own.

If you are looking, tell us what you want it for — towing, work, greenlaning, daily driving, or all of it — and people can tell you what they would pick and why.

Worth saying in your reply

• Which you run, and which model and year
• What you use it for, and roughly what mileage you cover
• Anything you would warn a buyer about
• Whether you would buy the same again

Owner experience across a lot of miles is worth more than a spec sheet.
