Automatic or manual?

Petrol, diesel or electric?

I have an Alfa Romeo mito veloce. Manual and petrol. 15 yrs old. Great nippy little car. Fab to drive. Wanting a guilette next.

Silver automatic

BMW x1 M Sport. Very fun to drive, economical, and it saved our lives with only cosmetic damage after a pretty brutal crash this summer (the crash wasn’t our fault, I hasten to add). If we’d been in something tiny, we’d have been killed. But the car is like a tank. I will not be parted from it for another 10 years at least.

2.0l Diesel, Mini Paceman, Manual.

Love and adore it! Nice and nippy (0-60 in 10 seconds), so comfortable and looks pretty cool! And you don't see many on the road as they were discontinued in favour of the 5 seater Clubman.

@Hannah1011 I'm not sure will check the stats. It's 192 bhp so very nippy and fast when you put your foot down!

Citroen Berlingo, manual dirty diesel workhorse. 15 years old 130k on the clock and just sailed through the MOT with no advisories.

Electric Skoda and would be very unlikely to ever go back I absolutely adore it.

Thank for all the extra details. I was only curious about the fuel and if automatic or manual

Is it the plug in C-HR? I am thinking of getting one.

No, it's not plug in. My brothers got the plug in RAV 4 and really likes it. Bloody expensive if he had to buy it though.

Many, many years ago I had an Alfasud, it looked gorgeous, sounded sexily throaty, ran like a dream and I absolutely loved it. But I was in Johannesburg at that time, a very dry area and with some elevation and cars just did not rust. The Alfa did. 😢

Apologies.

Why you asking anyway?

Nowadays we have an Audi A5, petrol, auto. Four years old, roomy, solid and very comfortable for long drives sur le continent. One reason we're reluctant to go electric.

Auto petrol. My first auto and won’t go back to manual.

Petrol - can be driven in manual or automatic mode. I always use auto.

Honda Jazz, 1.4, manual, my second one. Love it: economical to run, ULEZ compliant, bags of space with the 'magic seating', great build quality, engine never any trouble. My last one was 18 and still running like a dream but rust around rear wheel arches had set in and I replaced it.

Just curious that's all.

A 9 year old petrol engine, manual Ford Cmax with very low mileage (but which still needed a new fecking oil pump last week - bye bye £600)

Manual and first petrol car since my very first one I think. Last few have been diesel. Was thinking hybrid last time but wasn't convinced about what was on offer.

I have an Automatic Aygo X, 1 litre petrol engine. I drive with an automatic only license as well.

Manual petrol. Will go electric and automatic as soon as they come down in price so I can afford it

Old VW Polo, manual.
My bff (next door) is a petrolhead and she gives me access to a newer Ford Ka and a much older (1960s!!) Morris 1000, which just about goes and is definitely a manual (you can hear it streets away!!).

2.0 petrol ssayong Tivoli manual I love it!

Manual Petrol Mini Cooper Twin Turbo. Amazing car and fun feel.
Also
Manual Diesel Mini Cooper Convertible
I have the best of both worlds

Petrol and manual because I am old school
BF has a diesel automatic which i also drive

9 year old Volvo XC60, diesel, automatic. First auto I’ve ever had and honestly can’t see myself going back, it’s like driving a (very large!) go-kart!
Before that was a Mitsubishi L200 pick-up, diesel, manual.
