Martin Underwood ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

I'd be interested to try one of these sequential Tiptronic gearboxes
such as the ones on the Citroen C3 and some VWs.

Don't think our C3 has one of those.

Not all do. If it has a clutch pedal, and no steering wheel flippers,
it doesn't. If it doesn't, be thankful.

Have you found the C3's Tiptronic transmission to be more of a
blessing than a curse? In theory (and I've never driven a car with it)
it sounds to be the best of both worlds.

I've not driven one, but SensoDrive initially had an AWFUL rep to go with
the abysmal name. Very slow change, confused, umpteen buggy software
releases to try and solve the probs without introducing new ones.

I believe it's about right now, but early ones were a bit "gearbox by
Microsoft"...
