THINKING of buying. Go for- A manual or an automatic??

If I was in England, Id get a Ford Fiesta in manual. I think thats one of the best selling cars over there because of its reliability.

I'd find a Ford SportKa...just because of this commercial.

NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH. THEY PULLED THIS AD OFF THE AIR IN ENGLAND! FAIR WARNING!

Hi, new here. I can't explain why I have a fascination with this tiny car. I like it because it is different and it gets amazing gas mileage. How is the CVT in regards to reliability? Should I buy a manual? Thanks for your input. -Brad

So three years later, have you made up your mind yet now that your vw is toast?
