@Wigwan,
No sorry didn’t try the auto – my daughter prefers manual. The decider for us was the equipment levels and much more room inside the car
The surprising thing is when you compare the Aygo to the Aygo X. Although the X looks much bigger there is very little between them. e.g. 11 mm ride height and 235 mm in length which isn’t a massive difference.
One of the big advantages is availability, the one my daughter ordered 6 weeks ago is built and on its way and should be available to us at the end of October. The Aygo X was going to be spring next year. But as always it is what best for the lease holder
