Polishing before or after rust removal

I have a bodypaint polishing scheduled for tomorrow. Now I’m starting to wonder if I should get all my rust removed before that. As you can see, there’s not so much rust. There could be more rust though that I cannot see. Is polishing the whole car a dumb move? It starts to feel a bit unnecessary if parts of the paint is going to be removed to remove the rust

Fiat 500 / 695 Ferrari Tributo

What’s the story behind this? How is it special? Is it rare?

What is this?

I saw one driving down the highway in Finland. I checked the plate and it says it’s a version of Citroën 2CV. It does not look like one at all. I was wondering is it a factory made or did someone build this? Is it rare?
Thanks in advance!

Manual or automatic?

I’m thinking on getting a Fiat 500 and I’m wondering should I get one with manual or with automatic transmission. I can drive stick, but we live in a busy city so maybe automatic could be a bit easier to drive. On the other hand, automatic is much more expensive. Is there differences in reliability, which is more reliable? Thanks in advance!

Purchasing Fiat 500

I’m thinking on getting my fiancé her dream car, however I don’t have so much money. I’m ready to spend 3000€ on it, this would be within the budjet.
It’s 2011 model with 1,2 69hp engine (manual) that has 238 000 km on it. Is this mileage ridiculous, or can it still be a working car for some time?
The timing belt has been changed. The maintanance history is good. Thanks for help in advance!

Golf 6R problems and issues

I recently bought a new (to me) Golf 6R. I got the DSG and Haldex oils changed and also changed the brake fluids, spark plugs, cabin air filter and cam follower.

What problems and issues should I be anticipating with this car? Any parts I should be focusing on especially? It only has 120 000 km on it, not so much considering it’s 14 years old.

Golf 6R DSG transmission

I got this Golf a month ago and recently noticed when driving in traffic that the DSG transmission is a bit glitchy when driving between 2nd and 3rd gear. The car is Stage 1 so I was wondering is this normal or should I be worried and what is causing this?
Thanks for help!

Golf R Mk6 DSG

So I bought an Mk6 Golf R about a month ago. I’ve noticed that the DSG transmission is a bit glitchy on small gears. I drove in a traffic jam for the first time yesterday and noticed the glitching between 2nd and 3rd gear. I know some transmissions are a bit glitchy but is this normal for 2012 Golf R DSG-transmission? Any experiences?
