• The truth about semi automatics.... 14 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, I've heard some bad things about semi automatics and was wondering how founded they were. They break more frequently, better off going with a manual or an automatic rather than the semi as you end up falling between two stools? Maybe it just depends on the car itself.... anyone's thoughts

• Are older automatic cars more risky to buy? 8 Apr 2009 (Forum)

  My old Nissan Bluebird is nearing the end of its life at last, and needs replacing this year. It's only a second car, which gets very light use (to and from work if I don't cycle, and occasional evening trips when the other car is in use), so I'd like something smaller, and I'd like an automatic

  Hope someone can help here, I've been recommended this site by a friend and I'll freely admit I'm a bit lacking in knowledge here. I've got an offer of an espace but it has a strange fault.
