Speed isnt everything, i've got a txd (ok its a manual) but i bet its not that much quicker anyway, & i've managed ok, it will belt along at 90 no worries....

I do like metalic colours though & those pics do look nice, but no hope of selling it at that price without an mot, why do people do this

Speed isn't everything, but diesel auto's have calenders rather than speedo's. And you cant get 90mph out of a diesel auto unless you're over revving it or going down a 1 in 1 hill with a following wind.

It's got a tailblazer! Someone buy it!

Ahem.

I had a 19RD Auto for a while and I found it slow. Very slow. The economy also wasn't that good - around 38mpg. I put that down to the fact that I drove everywhere with my foot hard to the floor because it was so... slow.

I like autos and I like diesels but I wouldn't have that combination again. Not on a BX, anyway; maybe others are better.

Mulley, believe me the auto diesel is a totally different car. They are dangerous. I have NO IDEA how they sold ANY!

Clearly, as a Diesel Auto BX with no tax or ticket is never going to be worth £200. £20 more like it.

He also clearly Knows little about how to spell either.

I can overtake in the txd, requires military precision, indepth knowledge fo the roads you are on & nerves of steel

....wifey loves it....hehe

I fancy one as a towing car, speed then becomes irrelevant, never towed with an auto but heard they are better all round as far as towing goes.
