Hello all,
I am a long term Citroen man and have been keen to try the Catus so I currently have a 4 day demonstrator and been given a 1.2 ETG. Frankly, I am shocked at the performance of the ETG gearbox.
A few years ago I had a C3 Diesel Sensodrive and that was great little vehicle, besides one problem with the gearbox in that it would delay when it shifted down from 2nd to 1st at the most dangerous times, say turning right against oncoming trafffic, but that was it's only problem.
The Cactus has the same problem a delay/lag in every gear up, down and pulling away.
Is this a problem with the low power/tourque of the 1.2 petrol?
And why the long reach down to the buttons for the D, R and N? Surely the control could have gone somewhere more intuitive? Central consol or combined with the paddles.
Cheers, Guy.
