Consumer Description
IT HAS THE EURO TWIN AUTOMATIC CLUTCH SYSTEM, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL SIT FOR A SEW SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY GOING. IT HAS PUT US IN NEAR-ACCIDENT SITUATION SEVERAL TIMES. ITS HARD TO SPEED UP TO MERGE ON A HIGHWAY, OR GET THROUGH A ROUND-ABOUT. WE NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO GO OR JUST SIT THERE. IT HAS HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE 3 TIMES, AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FIAT. ALL THEY TELL US IS "ITS WORKING AS IT SHOULD" INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS FLAWED. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT THROUGH TOWN OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT JUST DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS LIKE A SHOULD AND WE CAN'T TRUST IT.
