I went for an auto - partly because I had also read about issues with the manual, especially if you are planning to tow anything.

I wouldn't bother buying a 2WD FL2, unless you want the SUV looks. Many people who own SUVs don't want or need to off road, they just want them for the higher up driving position and better grip in the winter months.

manual box is fine in fl2, smooth positive changes clutch is fairly soft to press. linkages can get dry leading to more difficult changes. easily greased.

Must agree with CG, the manual I had was fantastic. Over 50,000 miles when I changed it and it never missed a beat. I now have a Auto but that's just personal preference and the SD4 doesn't come in manual!! |

2wd manual..? Save youself a bundle and get a Nissan Qashqai. Did 70000 fault free miles in one. Clutch/gearchange was perfect.

When I bought mine I was looking for an Auto, but as the manual was about £1K cheaper I was able to upgrade from S to GS for the same money. Yes I'd have preferred the auto, but for the money I have a much nicer car. And it's done nearly 80,000 miles on the original clutch. |

Best option to decide auto/manual is to test-drive them both, over similar roads to where you will be driving.

So far the thread had provided much valuable advice and personal opinions so the next option should be personal research on FLs available to purchase.

According to people on RRSport, it is dreadful and you should avoid it. Apparently the cars are in bad condition and the prices are rather high. |
