I pretty much only manually shift my 190d conversion, you need to precisely meter the power through each gear in every situation or else it leads to bogging and double shifting back down if you have to slow down slightly ....gotta be paying attention with 73hp.  Stark difference from the 420...that can accelerate uphill....in 4th.....at 35mph/1500rpm....without breaking a sweat....
