Couldn't really say if there is their get out clause

But I do have to say That I have found no problems with the I-shift
( yes it is a 07 plate car and so was given the upgrade prior to being
registered) but I found the test drive car an 06 plate car fine to drive

What people need to remember is that this is not a full automatic
is as an automated manual and because there is only one clutch ( unlike VW's DSG box which has two clutches and is a lot more expensive) you do feel the change more ( dependant on your speed)

It knows what gear to be in when pulling away from a stop

Oh I could go on basically I do think Honda could refine it but it is good as it stands

I do feel sorry for people who are having problems
although I do wonder if the problems are caused by the driver!!!!!
