Why do you wish you got the auto? I have a 15 plate 2.5 at the moment, wanting to shift it while it’s still worth decent money

It’s not the nicest gear box in the world a few have said the auto is better and will likely hold its money more

I had a 15 plate manual 2.5 from new. Found it great 32 to 34 real world mpg towed brilliantly
Just changed it got a new 1.9 auto. Bit posher inside but basically the same. Still a good drive, auto easier to drive that manual but still not convinced always been a manual man. Seems to tow well enough doing 28 to 30 mpg but still under 1000 miles.
I think there great value for money.
Hope this helps.

We have a 1.9 d max. Happy enough with it. Not as refined as some other brands. Wife is getting 35/36 mpg.

Glad to hear these comments got a 2.5 and love it but not convinced by the 1.9 when towing

That was my thoughts, but at the end of the day I don’t do vast amounts of towing so it should be fine for what I do, the occasional trailer full of cows and flat trailer with 2 ton on every so often
