I have noticed a few UP! owners having problems with their gearboxes.
Are all of these faults or is it the way they are used ?
There are quite a few owners buying the UP! as their first car and a few oldies like myself at the other end of motoring buying a small car as the family have flown the nest or whatever.
Are a lot of the temperamental gearboxes driven ( in the main ) by the younger drivers ?
A lot of the older drivers defending the gearbox may have got used to stiff and baulking changes over the years with many different cars and found their own ways of getting the best out of the boxes.
What you will accept is all relative and if you have had temperamental boxes over the years occasional crunching may be acceptable. If you are a new driver your perception of what an acceptable gearbox is may be different. There will of course be a few faulty boxes out there as well.
I thought I would run a poll and see if there is a trend on this.
Fill in as many boxes as you want
