[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7530560, member: 718"] Goodness! Has Direct Drive been available for that long? It's like yesterday it was launched on an unsuspecting world. Direct Drive is a dual clutch two shaft robotised manual synchromesh transmission of a similar design as that used in some VW, Ford and other cars. I'm not a great fan of the concept due to the shear number of delicate precision and wearing mechanical parts involved. However I will admit to running one myself and very good it is too. This first dip of my toe in the water will end well before its warranty ends just in case. Just to be plain though, I have no evidence whatsoever that these things are any less reliable than a conventional automatic/power-shift or CVT. It's just a suspicion of the 'new'. [/QUOTE]
