I love mine but have to agree, my bum hole gives out when it drives over the smallest lump in the road kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Oh cars, I love em but it’s hard now with crowded roads and necessary policing to have a thrash. There isn’t really a safe place to do it responsibly anymore. 18 months ago my 35 year affair with Alfa Romeo ended. Short of a lotto win the ones with an engine worth having are gone. loved my sud Ti .. despite the rust. Sold my 164 3.0 24 valve when it had done 140,000 miles and was still singing like Callas. What an engine. finally ended up with a German. 64 plate A4 avant 3.0 tdi Quattro. No soul but it’s insanely efficient, how can 6 pots and 242BHP give you 50 to the gallon .. but driven carefully it does. Cant wait for electrics to be truly universal. All that torque and throttle response but the infrastructure has a long way to go. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Currently have a Mazda CX-5 2.2 diesel. For first time in my life went for an automatic. I'm getting about 3mpg less then the manual, but at 2500 miles its got a little running to do. I am absolutely staggered by how easy and stress relieving an auto is to drive particularly in traffic. Its 6 speed and gear changes are almost unnoticeable unless I'm clogging it a bit to get past slower BMWs (joking lads!). Other bit of useful tech is the radar cruise control which basically tracks the vehicle in front and maintains a safe distance, will also brake for you down to stop, then start off again. Scary bit is when you forget you aren't on cruise control and are getting a bit close but even then it fires a very loud warning and below 25 will hit the brakes for you.
