Re: Accommodation in Bristol
It could be worth joining lots of local Facebook groups - for example we are in the BS9 group but there are many for every area - pick desirable areas, join the group and then ask..

Re: Driving with DSG
As mentioned above we bought an Ateca a year ago, however ours is the 2.0 petrol and has the paddles, it is very responsive, but that still can make it challenging to drive smoothly - with the f-type it is far more intuitive - the car basically drives as an auto but lets you over-ride with manual mo...
