Is automatic right for you in Hollinwood?
- No clutch hill starts — the car holds itself on slopes.
- Great for nervous learners: more brainpower for the road.
- Smooth, relaxed driving in heavy traffic.
- No stalling — ever.
Oldham is known for its hills. In Hollinwood an automatic takes the stress out of starting on slopes, so you can concentrate on steep hills, the A62 and A627(M), and rural roads out towards Saddleworth.
