Nothing's that black or white - apart that is, from chicken pooh and Derby County FC shirts (original shirts before the days of "home n away" strip and not the Prada pyjamas those clowns wear today) Razz

So my answer would be: Manual - No Not Yet 42k+ kms Very Happy

Cos the sample size for failed autos is so small that the figures would be randon and meaningless, whereas the sample size for failed clutches / DMF is much larger and so the figures will be more representative and meaningful. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
Evoque SD4 Auto Blue.
FL1 HSE TD4 Manual Black - Gone.
RR Classic V8 EFI - Gone

A mileage option could have been added to the poll, like I did with a similar poll (power steering), but its only a fast guide not a scientific paper.


hopefully not to many faults will be flagged as a google search will find this poll and resale values will plummet At work

Can you not change the poll, I need to vote twice, I've had a manual (Thankfully Gone) and replaced with the far superior Auto, no problems with either box.

So far the FL2 auto has been OK but did have the auto box on the FL1 fail after about 50K.
