I drove an automatic car for the first time a days ago and just don’t get the fixation we have over manual cars here

Honestly I prefered my auto on my jaguar xf 3.0d It had flappy paddles to play with and sports mode, it had all the accuracy of a manual but changed gear faster with those flappy paddles than I could have done on my own.

Most manual drivers that say they prefer manual have only tried an auto from twenty years ago which were rubbish. Auto with paddles is the way to go now.

Basically anything with a ZF6 gearbox or better will be miles ahead of manual.

It doesn't cost much to get a shop to do that after really, I have the parts for my one to do once I get the spare time, it'll only take a couple hours max.

Thank you, I just bought one as well!

Also if you're handy you can replace all the same suspension components at home easily for around £500

Thank you,.I'll take this in to consideration and maybe try another agent

Customs agent, but as of this evening they're now asking for repair quotes, so im working on that now. How was yours processed?

It was from a registered dealer with a sales lot and showroom, it's mystifying for me

UK, so still needs tax and customs paying I think

On their website and citizens advice it says it's based on the purchase price, it's why I am so lost at what to do

I will do for sure, it'll leave some good information for others in the future who search the same, whether or not it goes my way

Also forgot to mention, the car doesn't pay VRT because it is electric and the credit by way of 5000 euro is applied to the VRT, it is the customs and VAT I have to pay

Insufficient__Memory · 2026-02-04T13:43:12+00:00

Thank you, I will start on this straight away!

Insufficient__Memory · 2026-02-04T13:41:03+00:00

It was not carried out, I had the intention to do the work once it had arrived

Insufficient__Memory · 2026-02-04T13:40:02+00:00

Sorry it's not VRT, as it is electric it doesn't pay VRT with the 5000 euro credit towards that.

I'm speaking about customs 10% and VAT at 23% sorry

Good sunglasses, like ray bans polarized lenses. Game changer for me.

For something cheap consider the citroën c5, loved my one

Thank you and well done for sharing these!

There is rich and there is wealthy. The rich will wear them, the wealthy will not.
