I'm viewing a Rapido 8086df tomorrow, and putting a deposit down. It's 10 months old with 4000kms, so basically new. It has the 2.2 with a 9 speed automatic. Extras include aircon and an expensive mastervolt lithium set up, (which is not a deal breaker). It's a face/face seating with cream leather and island bed, and 2 years left on the warranty.
It's a private sale, and I'm a cash buyer. As its a private sale and in Spain, there is a 6% tax to pay on top.
Now a Pilote has just come on the market this morning, (we also like the Pilote's). It's a G720 sensation, basically the same size as the Rapido and layout. It's a 2021 with 22000kms, a 2.3 with a manual gearbox. No aircon and material seating. One owner and looks new. We are going to view it this afternoon, as its only 40 minutes away from us.
The Pilote is 30000€ cheaper than the Rapido, and from a dealer and will get a 12 month warranty. I could possibly get the aircon fitted in the deal or part of. I can afford either, but the 30k saving is tempting.
What would you do, It's a hard decision.

Yes, the phantom clutch soon becomes a thing of the past.

If I am ever well enough to drive again I will never go back to a manual gearbox.

You wanna try driving a Scania with a 3 pedal out box you inly the clutch when you come to a complete stand still it's weird

All my cars are autos and have been for 40 years but when choosing a MOHO the reliabilty of MOHO conformatics put me off , so I have a manual with a click and go auto overide,, but TBH its a doddle to drive in manual , on highways there is so much torque one hardly ever has to change gear and in traffic 1st 2nd and 3rd is all I need and the clutch in my Fiat is light so im happy ..
