This was the first rental at sixt and will most likely be the last rental at sixt for me.
why would you receive an automatic car in a class which doesn't include automatic cars? the lowest class with sixt in germany where you can reserve automatic is LDAR.
unless you reserve from US. but then you do receive a reservation confirming your automatic car.
