Bugger. I was at least expecting another 5 pages. Congrats on the car

Haven't got it yet!! Could still go for 5+ more pages!!

I need to get an "In tartiflette we trust" sticker!!

And someone to make some letters to match the Kamiq bit on the back of the car - want it to say "Kamiq azi "

Modern autoboxes work really well, I wouldn't even consider a manual. Stick to the service intervals, and change the filters/fluids on time or miles, whichever comes first.
I would not be concerned about the small engine, 116bhp is enough for most tasks, 150 might be nice but is it worth the extra?
My advice would be to drive both, if the cheap one feels good, go for it.

I can’t do a manual box any more, too painful. I manage the ones in the sprinters a couple of times a week but it’s a completely different driving position and if I had to do any more than I’ve done so far it wouldn’t be possible
If I’m ever in a position to buy an old sports car (MX5!) I do hope I’ll be able to still drive a manual, it it’s not possible every day up and down the mountain

But I’ve gone for a 1.5 and completely different car (well, not completely!!)

You bought a Kamiq?

One of my mates has an auto MX5. It's crap. Horrible old 4 speed JDM auto box.

I have!! Well, just waiting on two bits of paper to send for the bit of finance. I'm hoping I might be able to pick it up on Friday, if not the weekend and getting to work will be a bit of a challenge!! But TBF, will probably be next week

I really wouldn't want an old auto MX5 - I guess a modern one would be ok, but I'd prefer an old (but not pop up lights) manual! High days and holidays I can manage in an manual - everyday I can't
