MattDRX Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The box is also !Removed!. Either go manual or auto. I had a car in the USA with this powershift and it's pants the gear changes are actually quite slow, Renault quickshifts are much much better.

Taeasz Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Peter I think it depends on how long your brother plans to keep the car. Based on the dubious long term reliability of dual clutch gearboxes, primarily VW Audi Group's DSG box and the Ford Powershift box, I wouldn't want to run one once it was outside of manufacturer's warranty. Repairs can prove very expensive as a friend of mine with a five year old 55k Audi A3 found out to his cost. On a positive note, Honest John's website review of the 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta was quite favourable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
