Advice for new tall driver

Hello All,

Looking for some advice for my nephew. He's recently passed his driving test, and is on the lookout for his first motor.

Ideally it needs to be cheap to insure, rabidly l reasonably reliable, but the kicker is that he is around 6'6", which could rule some cars or if the equation. I was thinking he should get a CityBug (example attached) but can anyone who is around that height confirm my suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

What coolant to use in 2006 C1?

title, I've read many mixed opinions on G12/G12+/G12++ based coolants for being acidic. Currently I see "pink/red" coolant in reservoir but I can't exactly tell what type it is. I've looked through forums and people say not to mix coolants so I'm not exactly sure if it's safe to add any pink-ish coolant to fill up to top it up.

Wheel arch liners missing or not required? 2012 Aygo.

Is my 2012 Aygo missing some rear wheel arch liners, or were they never fitted and not required?

This is a new car to me and I'm not sure after checking the manual/Haynes guide.

Seats

I've got a Citroen c1 for my first car but the seats are so shit in my opinion, what other seats fit that anyone knows of (a mate of mine can weld new rails) looking for comfort not a bucket seat but something that holds you more in bends and is comfy 👍🏼

Sometimes it wiggle while breaking

Guys, I've changed the discs and the pads long ago, and it started to wiggle a lot after 2 months. Then I went back to my old disk because I thought it might be the disc, and it stopped. 2 months later, it started wiggling again.

What could it be ? Are my pads bending my discs ? Or what is happening. But it's something because in some situation it doesn't wiggle

Delay shifting into reverse (Automatic)

Hello everyone, sometimes, when I try to shift into reverse, the car will stay in neutral and beep for about 2-4 seconds while the R on the dash is flashing and then shift into reverse. Apparently, this is because it is having a hard time to engage the gear and I know because with the windows down you can hear the actuators clicking again and again. Now, in the summer I had made another post when I replaced my clutch because the car was slipping and I thought that that was also the reason for this problem. However it keeps happening from time to time. This is particularly annoying as sometimes I have to do a quick parallel parking and before I can reverse I have to wait like an idiot in the middle of the street waiting for the car to engage the gear. Is this because deep down this is an automated manual? Just wanted to check if anyone else with an auto has this problem. Thanks!
