Remember the Promaster diesel comes with the automated manual transmission only. That will be a turn off to some people I bet because they don't understand how it works.
I had a VW Golf TDI for a couple of years with an AMT. VW calls it a
DSG (direct-shift gearbox).
The average person would be hard pressed to detect they were not driving a normal automatic, at least with VW's version. Of course the Golf is a much lighter vehicle then the Travato. It was one of my favorite all time cars to drive, more because of the snappy performance and great mileage then the AMT. The only time I noticed the difference was when going down hill and it automatically downshifted and hence slowed the car down. When accelerating it was unnoticeable.
