Sensodrive

Post by crapday »

I was thinking of getting a C3 XTR, but am a bit worried about the sensodrive gearbox, has anyone tried them out. I read somewhere that the older ones (about a year old) where a bit juddery, are the new one still like that.

I've heard they are diabolical! But then most semi autos are (DS excluded!)

Thing is if you talk to anyone about citroens they'll tell "oh don't get one of those the suspension is nothing but trouble". We all know thats crap, so is this the same about the sensodrive. The C3 XTR looks really smart and the local dealership is doing £399 deposit and 60 month at £159. No big deposits and no big final payments.

Just had a test drive in one last week..seems absolutely fine to me! They did admit that there was a software bug in the early version.....software in gearbox? What are we coming to!

Is it possible that the bug was in the software they used for designing the gearbox?[;)][:D]

Why would you want one when you have a Zx 1.9D - My wife wouldn't be parted from hers for anything!
