Towbar fitting

I went to the Ford dealer and a salesman was showing me the automatic tailgate on a Kuga. I think he thought I would be impressed. I absolutely hate stupid things like that. Why can't people just lift their own tailgate? I just walked out in disgust.

The world moves on! I find mine very helpful, especially when I'm carrying things and trying to control dogs/children.

If you don't want progress you could always buy one of the basic dacias. I think they have wind down windows still.

Interestingly according to Wikipedia Q7 sales are down every year while Dacia sales are soaring.

Are they?

Not according to the latest European sales figures (April 2016)

Audi Q7 sales up 148% -albeit from only 1089 to 2702

As far as I can see sales of all Dacia models apart from the Sandero fell.

But one can prove anything with statistics.

And we must not forget that there are many people to whom the price is more important than the quality - and that applies to everything - baked beans, beer and clothing as well as cars.

Here in France there are lots of Logans, made by Dacia on old Renault production lines, very basic but seem reliable.
