Graham, it was the hooligan element especilly in sport + mode that drove my comment. The auto is always on song the manual gears seem to try to keep you at the wrong revs for the turbo.
The manual gearbox interface with the ECU must be out of synch!
Why would there be an "interface"?
I can understand comments like Graham above. When I had an F type with the same ZF box I was initially very pleased with it. But that rapidly turns to boredom because you find yourself always using it in full auto. There is no real fun in the flappy paddles because there are too many gears to chose from, they are too close together, and much of the time you dont even know you have changed gear. So you end up driving it like the family saloon if you arent careful.
It was for this reason that I changed back to a manual sports car - the family cars are all full autos.
