GearTronic?

[Assasin]

Is this the paddel shift gear system or is it just a case of pushing the auto leaver foward in stages to shift gears?



/ me looks at search button..

Correct to the latter.

The latter, shift the gear stick forward and back, its the only type of Volvo ive driven so far and i didnt care for it much, the fun factor wore off after about 2 minutes.

I've got a test drive booked for Monday in an XC90 which will have the geartronic box, I'm not really bothered about the up and down shift as I think I will probably feel the same as you but are there any comments about the box? I've never spent much time with an auto other than a few test drives but with such a big car it makes sense and its the wife that will be using most of the time, I'm deffo keeping the C70.

oh and yes its going to be a d.d..d...deis...diesel (that was hard work)..and hopefully one of the 185bhp models

Any comments

I've got a S80 T6 with the geartronic box your choice how you use it i have had no problem in eithier manual or auto mode.

is it a proper auto with distinct gears (how many?) or is it a CVT with preset 'artificial' ratios?

Slightly off topic, does the 850 auto have a manual mode?
