C70 II + D5, switch or automatic?

Hello people I’m currently thinking about getting a C70 II. The D5 has a Sate 50 Nm more as a switch, so it would have to run twice as well as an automatic one. But now it’s like a brand new one for a week (I was the first to drive it) S80 D5 with a manual switch. And now I’m driving a V70 II EZ 12.12.2005 (delivered 09.12.05) MY 06 with also 185 hp diesel engine, but this time with the 6-speed GearTronic. Subjectively this is going much faster from 0 to 100 as the more recent S80 II with HS – despite automatic one. Can someone please report to me here his experiences with the C70 II, which has driven the D5 both as a hand switch and as an automatic one? Thank you already in advance!
