    Anyone been in and driven a Tivoli?

    Any opinions on them?

    Haven't driven one but they're meant to be a decent enough yoke, certainly better than a duster, and loaded with kit.
    I'm sure you know the likely downsides of them anyway.

    Downsides of the brand yes but maybe they've finally turned a corner. I'm just curious about it. I like the look but can see how it's easily devise. Only spotted the price of them this evening and thought they looked cracking value when compared to the Duster as you say.

    The dealer network is the biggest issue IMO. at least Dacia piggy back off Renault.

    They also have zero presence as a brand, besides Bill Cullen flogging them.

    Been hungry for more power myself lately. Recently drove a remapped GTI V and it's been making me think hard.

    He'd nearly put me off wanting to have one. I must try and have a look at one some weekend.

    You are a mindreader! I'm in Ennis and her car needs tires for the NCT as it so happens.
    Thanks for that kind sir.

    Funny thing, I thought I was in YLYL and stared at it for 5 minutes trying to figure out what was funny about it. Its been a tough week...

    Hoping to go looking the weekend after next in Frank Hogans Skoda in Limerick, I'd imagine it'll be traded in as it's simpler for my mother. It's a great car so I'm hoping she gets a good overall deal

    Someone from Nissan was on Today FM talking about Nissan Leaf and electric cars in general. He said that the batteries last 10 years which is on average the same life time of an engine. :pac:
