Is there much difference between an automatic or a manual on campervan hiace?
(Preview)
Hi. I am looking at an older 2000 Toyota hiace and have found a few. I like the thought of the automatic but worry the fuel consumption would be much higher than the manual. Then theres diesel or petrol- more petrol ones out there. Anyone have any knowledge/ experience with this? Cheers Didi
