BlueXR6Turbo The Best Member Donating Members 1,970 Member For: 22y 25d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 15/04/03 02:25 PM Share Posted 15/04/03 02:25 PM I have a manual and I've been scratching my head wondering what all the journos are on about. The only criticism they've made that I've noticed is in regards to changing into 3rd. 2nd to 3rd can be a bit tricky sometimes, but now that I'm getting the hang of it, I very rarely have a problem. 5th to 3rd is virtually impossible to get first go, but this is a gear change that I don't need to make very often so it doesn't bother me.The only other thing I've noticed is that the gear box seemed very "stiff" to start with, but is loosening up with time. This is something one would expect from a brand new car.Robbo, I know exactly what you mean. The rev limiter is a bit of a shock when you hit it.

Guest Guests Posted 15/04/03 09:33 PM Share Posted 15/04/03 09:33 PM Yea even in an auto the rev limiter is a shocker, what makes it so harsh ? I would hate to see what makes the air bag go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that all the owners will try to make it to the FPV day next year so I can meet all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
