Re: Manual or Automatic?

For me manuals win hands down every time especially in town, stop start traffic, so much easier with not having to keep using the clutch and selecting gear.

Re: Insurance quotes

Just taken out insurance for delivery hopefully Saturday best quote came in at £270, 14yrs ncb £150 excess aged 55 West Yorks I think that’s a good price considering engine size, cost of car etc.

Re: PCP GFV

My dealer went through all options and the thing I picked up on was the fact petrol has overtaken diesels on residual values for tevfirstbtimebin ages, due to diesel issues on emissions, I only do low mileage so I opted for a petrol this time instead of diesel .

Re: City safe has a mind of its own!

Oh dear hope this is one off, I had a similar problem with my last car it applied full emergency brakes when nothing nearby, very dangerous , they couldn’t find a fault and I ended up rejecting the vehicle.
