i-shift change - new software

Dobbie, I am sorry to hear of your current predicament. Not that I can be of any help to you. Do I take it that the legal proceedings are based on the question as to whether the car is fit for purpose? I hope the matter is resolved to your satisfaction but I don't think Honda UK will welcome any bad publicity so I am hopeful of a positive outcome for you.

I find your post very interesting as an i-shift driver. My wife and I share a '57 i-shift. In automatic mode I personally feel it is not perfect. However I do acknowledge it is not a conventional automatic gearbox and we are still getting used to it. Having driven the car for one month now I feel a light right foot appears to help easing off ever so slightly when a change up feels due mainly from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to third. We have not as yet experienced the trauma you describe at junctions and roundabouts.

And yes, Brodick, overall, we are very pleased with the car.
