I have looked at these as a possible replacement for the mig.
But not knowing an awful lot about them have decided to give em a miss.
Mixed report I've read from owners are highly delighted with them to poor build quality and frustrating electrical gremlins........

make your mind up from that :-/

I've finally made my mind up on what I want next, you're going through that process now, or have been for a while have you?

Yes, need to buy a car, can't make my mind up as to what.. ::) ::)
It is a long standing joke with swmbo that at work, I am well know for being decisive often having to work in a crisis situation, at home I seem to have lost the ability to think for myself and make a final decision on any subject... ::) ::) ::)

My wife drives a C3 1.6i 16v Semi-Auto (Senso-drive)
This has the Flapply paddles that allow you to either leave in Auto mode or take over controlling gear change (Still NO clutch) and it is now 5 years old and the semi-system keeps playing up, taking ages to change gear, or starting off in 2nd at islands.
Also Citroens are renound to have spring problems, my wifes front spring decided to snap in half whilst parked at the pub, we cam out to a very SLAMMED C3, lol. (Boyracers would pay a fortune to get their cars that low) ;-)

Also we do have the occational problem with the canbus electrics, they tend to sometimes put the radio on when the car is locked and it needs a battery disconnection and 5 mins to reset the system.

Mine is the same and can be slow to change and hesitant if you catch it wrong on approach to a junction. Now off the list. :y
