The missus has her heart set on a 500 dualogic (only has an auto license) and I want to know what the gearbox is like before stumping up the money for one. The dealers over here can't say when they will get one in to test and I'm getting GBH of the earhole from SWMBO.

So if anyone has got a Panda dualogic, what is it like to drive?

Cheers

I have a punto with the dualogic gearbox. It's superb. It changes gear when I would change, and if it's a bit tardy when changing down a quick flick of the lever prompts it . The only snag is when the weather's cold it won't change up very quickly, until i've done about 10 miles and then it's back to perfection. FIAT can't find the fault having changed everything, but it's so good when it's working properly that I'll put up with the cold weather performance. It's the 1.3 multi jet and as I'm disabled I have it fitted with hand controls . But it's still great. up to70mpg and off to the s.of france each year. Great!
