My amt feels like a posh little go kart  :P

You will be surprised. On long journeys with an auto, it's easy to go over limit as the car remains smooth at even 100mph. Erm, apparently. If I'm correct in what you're thinking, older small cars would rattle and shake and make a racket. my cdi auto holds it's own at high speeds. Flat out, it's a little hairy but still fairly solid.

I wouldn't exactly call my 13 year old 450 "old" but it is getting on a bit. That shakes like a pro - probably down to a imbalanced wheel somewhere.

The CDI has swayed me. The lower revs should mean at least 80% of my commute is less noisy than present.

Solid choice. You won't regret it. Wait for a passion spec model.
