General Doblo...Automatic?

[SamG_Brava]

I'm looking to get a new taxi on finance... Everyone seems to be buying the Doblos around here.... but when ive went onto the fiat website, there doesnt seem to be an automatic option? :S

Does anyone know.. if there is an automatic doblo available :S

I'm almost certain you can't get a Doblo automatic.

Unfortunately you cannot get an automatic Doblo, and you probably couldn't get it converted either! None of the small MPV's (Peugeot, Citroen, Renault) do automatics either.

Hmmmmm... Unfortunate.

Looks like it might have to be the 1.9 Diesel Scenic Auto then... :bang:

why's it got to be auto?

Because taxi drivers are lazy all my local taxis have manuals and swear by them, but you go to bigger cities and all the taxi drivers have autos! Saves your left arm all those gear changes

I've been in a black cab in London with a manual gearbox. The driver said they're rare but some of the older drivers prefer them.

Ok not a doblo... but what about a Croma? They come in auto and since they're discontinued you can pic one up for pennies if you haggle.

Cromas look nice but they're alot more money than a Doblo, even with discount, and they only seem to do the petrol with auto box.
I really like the idea of a 2.4 Croma .

2.4 Croma is an auto box. They only do it as an auto

You can pick up a Prestigio Croma with a few hundred miles on the clock for about £10,000. Of course you could pay a lot less by buying sligtly older or not getting the executive class Prestigio.
