Does it come with indicators, or is it still an optional extra?
Nah, they don't do that anymore.
Bigger is the thing. Got three kids so need the space.
Never had a 3 so can't comment, but I wouldn't look past this for a car in its class.
Idea is keep for another four year cycle and see where I am then. Might go for a smaller one as my eldest will be off at college or have a job by then!

not a true manual if you become pedantic, which I am known for......
I still prefer wiggle stuck/clutch over the semi auto stuff
For me it depends what sort of car you’re driving. My Touareg is an auto and it suits it perfectly, because it’s a big torquey unit that hugs the road and is built for luxury and comfort.
If I was driving a Golf or similar, I’d definitely go for a manual to get that more connected driver experience, when you want to chuck it round the corners.
ah but to me all driving means is a means of getting from a to be preferably as easily as possible .
Im lucky enough not to live in a city or big town, so (summer aside when the roads are clogged with caravans) there are some great open roads, which make for some good fun driving.
But yeah if I was driving in commuter traffic every day, I’d just want something economical that got me from A to B
A flappy paddle DSG does both. The box changes quicker than a human, it’s only limitation is that it can’t see corners coming, so if you’re thrashing a Golf R or similar then you just override it with the paddles when you feel like.
You're living in London though. I simply didn't bother owning a car when I lived there as public transport is so good. A car is just a pain in the arse.
I'd usually do a couple of trips down to Cornwall or the west country each year though. And I'd buy a cheap old banger, like £200 job (This is back in the early 90's) not bother to tax or insure it, use it for a couple of weeks and then sell it on when I got home

If you come up here before October let me know, and you can buy my vintage 3 Series. It has to go due to the ULEZ extension, which means it would cost me £12 a day. Bit gutted tbh.
It’s a Y Plate, 2001. 25,000 on the clock (genuine), and it’s in factory condition. One previous owner, an old man who hardly ever drove it. I bought it off the son when the old man died two years ago.
