Got a manual 2.5 right now but looking at getting a auto 2.5 for next car...

Am i gonna be able to drift round roundabouts etc or is it gonna be sh1te?
Thinking with power it wouldn't be too bad?

Or is it best to steer clear??

Just remember to downshift before the corner/round about.. both the kickdown and the lower gear will help in breaking traction.. hence drifting round corners. I got a 325 touring, auto with a dud/dying auto that can still drift (and a bunged up diff to boot). Can drift nicely at will.. though kinda scared as usually all the roundabaouts near me have semis galore on them! If not semis.... Chavs!
