Why is the gearstick squeaking on my Citroen C4?
I own a 2011 Citroen C4. When putting the gearstick in first I get a squeaking noise. Do you know what it could be?

Reads like the linkages need lubrication.

I bought a 2012 Nissan Micra 1.2 petrol manual with 39,500 miles on it. A strange noise, like a constant need to accelerate, is occuring. Is it a CVT?

I am thinking of buying a used Citroen C1 auto but have read the ETG gearbox is best avoided.
Do you agree? Do you know why?

I am looking to change my current Mercedes A200 which has a manual gearbox.
Can you suggest a similar size car, with the same spec and a manual gearbox? I intend to purchase a brand new replacement.

Most models are well equipped. Punchy diesel engines offer strong economy. Decent-sized boot.
