• hyundai getz 1.3 automatic - poor petrol consumption 25 Aug 2011 (Forum)
         I have had a Hyundai Getz 1.3 GSI automatic for the last four years. I am the second owner, the car is a 2004 model, and has only done 33,000 miles.  It's a nippy little car, but it drinks petrol as if there was no tomorrow.  It is regularly serviced, and for much of the time I use it for local runs with the odd long distance trip of 80 to 120 miles.
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 98 2.0 Automatic gearbox slipping 8 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  It has run beautifully for the past 9 months/12,000 miles, although the auto gearbox has never quite felt 'right' - but as I've never owned an automatic before I just put it down to, well, being automatic. Anyway, driving home tonight I put my foot down to overtake on a hill and although the engine revved perfectly smoothly up to 5,500 rpm, and the gearbox kicked down, it didn't result in much increase in speed - perhaps and extra 5mph.
• Omega Automatic Transmission 18 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Dear All Hope you can help because I don't really trust Vauxhall dealers! I've got a 1999 Omega 2.0 CDX Automatic estate. I've had it about 6 months and love the car but......... on the digital readout the words "automatic transmission" have appeared twice in the last two days. I've been able to drive the car still albeit at lower speeds and taking things easy.

• 508 / Passat - Peugeot 508 or VW Passat? 6 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  I have a choice between a new 508 SW 2.0 HDi 163 automatic and a new Passat 2.0 TDi estate DSG automatic. The Peugeot appeals to me more. However I need good reliability. Is the 508 SW a sound choice? Would the Passat prove a better option, if so, why? Thanks

• Peugeot 207 1.6 automatic, Petrol, 2009 - Fuel Consumption and ABS error 15 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Now my mechanic suspects it may be the automatic shifter or that the abs may be "braking" a little, forcing the engine and thus spending more gasoline. They have checked lambda, catalyst (thats the name?), engine, several other parts that may change consumption, but no defect found.
• Short insurance story 22 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  I called the company and they "kindly" offered to cancel the unwanted policy "free of charge" but it will take approx 7 days for me to receive my money. Their excuse was that their standard business practice was that the policy was set to automatic renewal and it was my fault that I didn't read all the documents they sent me. I'm now in a bit of a pinch because I didn't expect to have that money missing from my bank account. I never heard of automatically renewing car insurance policies.
