However don't buy the semi-automatic.
How does a semi-automatic work? I've heard of it, but never worked WHAT it is exactly.

Semi automatic means that you still have to change gears manually, but you don't need to use the clutch (vehicle has no clutch)
You're all wrong, a semi-automatic is when the human makes contact with the gear lever and triggers off a sensor down in the shaft that engages the clutch for you. It was on the 60-70s Beetles and still around today in slightly different mechanical ways. It is a tricky system that takes computer chips etc. to run, better off with a pure manual or straight automatic. (Unless you own a Ferrari or similar)
