Goodbye Bubbles
The C3's SensoDrive gearbox, once the selling point of the car is now its Achille's heel. It is highly unpredictable nowadays. Sometimes it goes well for days, other times, I will get stuck at junctions and carparks more than once a day.
Its very frustrating to not know when the problem will come, and every journey is am unknown. We had also sent the car in for servicing and the agent couldn't find anything wrong with the SensoDrive. Being the agents, solving the problem would probably mean replacing the entire gearbox, which will cost a bomb.
In the end, we decided to trade in the C3 to save on the unpredictable frustration (safety reason also) and get a more reliable car. After checking out various models, we decided on the Lancer EX GT. Will post some pics next week if I can collect it by then.

hey, my hubby used to drive a lancer and according to him, the gearbox will breakdown every 3 yrs or so u knw. hehehe... and each time he changed the gearbox cost him $3000-$4000!!
Wow, your hubby must be driving the Lancer pretty hard! I don't think it will be as bad as the current C3 gearbox lah. My last car was a Mitsubishi Galant and the gearbox was still in good condition after 5 years leh.
