My car is also automatic, but that doesn't stop it having to change gear at 4000rpm (max!)
Has anyone ever driven a continuously variable transmission vehicle?? is it as good as it sounds??
I drove one in an Escort (around the G-reg era) and it was horrible. Technology has undoubtably moved on a lot since then.
My Merc is also the 2.7 CDi auto and I don't really care when it changes, that's why it an auto ;-) but it's a good car and the engine is
almost as strong as the 3.0d beamer it replaced.
Strangely for CA, looks like the thread's strayed from the original topic .......
