I finally convinced the powers to be at work that I wanted a 206cc as my new company car, and they relented. Yay !!

Only bad thing is that I now have to wait two months to get the one I want

((

Ive ordered one with a tiptronic box? - Are they any good ? Im a bit worried coz I never hear them mentioned, as if no one ever gets them

I think it just means that its a automatic car.

i would think most people would stick with manual unless doing a lot of city driving purely because the manual has more power to play with

Or unless their wife can only drive an auto. Damn, I could have bought a 2.0L
for the same money.

I've got a tiptronic. It means that you can go into a manual mode and
flick the gear lever forwards or backwards to change gear up or down.
It will also handle that you've forgotten that you're in Tiptronic mode and change down for when you brake.

My feeling is that it's alright, but I'd sooner have a manual.

Hmmmmm, I still cant see the attraction of a manual, having always previously driven one. I like the idea of not having to do a thing in slow moving traffic. It means I can concentrate on other things

Anyhow, too late, the deed is done now, Ive just changed the colour to black instead of moonstone .

Im so excited ! Yay I WANT IT NOW !!!
