Re: Crunchy first gear (manual cars)

Mine didnt crunch at all over the weekend, even when I was on the Gaydon track it didnt crunch so maybe it's settled down. Thanks for the update though.

Glad its sorted itself out Tony. Dan, for some reason I found the 1.5 petrol handling better than the 95 cdi, I can't say it feels sloppy at the back or anything, I was thinking the engine might be heavier as it seems to wallow abit more into the corners at the front, still a good drive though!

You guys know there is a Sport pack option for the forfour, maybe youve driven cars with and without. No idea what you get for your money with the Sport pack though.

No you dont need lots of money, just enough (and not smoke or drink of course)

You can go off people you know. Mind you, I bet the tax man wants his fair share.

I think you get stiffer suspension, 16" wheels, and slightly tinted glass. From what Ive read though its not worth the bother!

Erm it was a bit like this

I think it is really poor it makes the car sound like an old LADA Tony should take it backa nd get them to sort it under warranty, maybe take it to another dealer if his can't be bothered.
