Hi. When driving a manual, there is normally enough room to rest the foot to the left of the clutch pedal after changing gear. Unfortunately, having driven the manual T3 for an hours test drive, I continuously knocked/scraped the clutch pedal with my left foot due to the fact there is little/no room...

Managed to take the T3 on a traffic free M25 motorway run last night ... In my humble opinion I really think people will make their assessment based upon whether they are trading up/down on performance from their current vehicle. I found it much more responsive than I had anticipated and now have no...

From a 5* to a 3* review makes it a difficult pill to swallow.
Will probably see if I can change the order to the T4.

I guess time will tell. Looking at the 'What Car' review of the Countryman it does suggest that the 1.5 engine struggled and the XC40 is 100 kg heavier at it's minimum kerb weight!
It does however produce a bit more power so let's see what happens when there's one available to test drive.....

Just to move this topic on a bit, I've ordered a T3 Petrol R-Design with a projected delivery date of Oct/Nov..... The deal is subject to me test driving the vehicle as and when one becomes available at my dealers. Does anyone have a real insight as to how this engine might perform in the XC40? I'm ...
