Is it an automatic car ? with only two pedals ? i found the best way is too tuck your left foot behind your right leg ,i know as i drove my ex bosses Jaguar XJS ,depressed the cluth pedal to change gear ,nearly went thru the screen ,no clutch only a wide brake pedalluci said:It's top of the range and seems to have everything, including flappy paddles. Going to get used to the basics first before thinking about the rest.

Yes, it's a DCT. My ittle legs are too short to tuck behind. I had a short drive for the first time today, on a quiet estate. Only once did I almost press the brake pedal, but I didn't. I wanted to change into first gear at junctions a couple of times. Otherwise it was fine.Ganga said:
