With the FTO can you run it as effectively an automatic when you want to with the tiptronic box and no when you don't?
Yes, the Tiptronic is a kind of 'dual gate' box, you can put it in D for full auto shifting or move it across to Tip mode for manual shifting. About 90% of FTO's in UK seem to be Tips.

No, if yours has a Tip function then it would be the CVT??

Yes. An automatic can only respond to the instantaneous speed/load conditions. It can't look ahead like a driver can. If you have a sports car like an FTO then you might want to pootle around town in D. On a B-road you might want to put it in 'manual' mode so that you can knock it down into second before a corner etc - i.e. drive it just like a manual.
I must say that the CVT on a Primera is a bit of an odd beast I never really liked them - never have driven a CVT that I liked in fact.

Porsche 944, bullet proof mechanics, galvanised so pretty much no rust worries.
Mainly cheap bits & good club support.

You should be able to get a Focus ST170 for less than £5K - a few on autotrader when I just looked .....
