Range rover is a tarts handbag.
The only time they really go off road is when the driver is on thier mobile and they clip a curb.

Our fleet of neenaa's are automatic BMW 3 series. Great spec, very fast, fairly economical too (apart from the twin turbo 3.5litre guzzler).
I don't know much about cars, but I know they can go quick and that I am allowed to drive them quick. Nothing beats a Sunday morning first shout up the motorway at 150 ;-)

The fleet are all diesels, I should have added that. It wouldn't have been heard of a few years back - auto diesel pursuit cars!!
We've got the 318d touring as a family car and can't fault it at all. Definitely the way to go for boot space.
I wouldn't turn down a RR either, lovely looking. They mean business!

Admittedly when I did floor the X1 it would move, but unfortunately there was no sport setting on the X1 lie there was on the 3 series. I wanted the end again but the gits at the rental car place had given the last one away.
I had the 330Ci M sport and thought the boot was mahoosive considering it was a coupe.
As for stick or auto it all depends on the car. My Smart Brabus has tip shift, full auto or paddles and the full auto is crap unless you anticipate the change and adjust the throttle. Occasionally it sort of looses track of what the revs/gear relationship is and holds onto the lower gear too long. Paddles/tip are more responsive.
My brother in law has a Merc A class for running around town in and I reckon it's brilliant. The auto shift is seamless and is so smooth you really don't notice it's changing gear.
Like Kingy said BM's are pretty basic until you start adding 'options' which you wouldn't get on a rental.

Brilliant little 'get out of the clag' motors. My daughter has the next one up from there ...Vitara SWB T reg 1ltr. Scabby looking thing cost her £500.00 but even the garage she uses for her MoT etc said it was worth repairing when she faced a £300.00 bill and they are an honest outfit that would have said scrap it if they felt it wasn't worth keeping.
