In all honesty, I don't think the MC box is going to suit me.
Maybe I'm off the mark here but I get the impression it's a gearbox for open road driving without much traffic.
I intend to use the GT as a daily driver (I do 13 miles each way of mostly A roads) for most days of the week (I intend to have two cars).
Sometimes there is a fair whack of traffic although once some road works are done, it will improve but there will still be the possibility.
From the reading I've done, it isn't the best for very low speed driving and I also wouldn't want the replacement clutch bill. I understand the box is out of a 599 Fezza?
Whereas ZF are probably the best gearbox manufacturer in the world and their 6 and 8 speed units are super smooth. I prefer that smoothness, longivity and practicality.
I need to drive an MC I guess to be sure!
I would also like to go for a 2012 facelift model as things stand as I prefer some of the subtle improvements.
If you can find a 2012 Auto with the optional MC Sports pack that would give you the MC software, the look of a MC Shift, and get you some of the way towards the thrills of an MC-Shift when driving, but still have the practicality of a pure Auto when you can't be bothered and just want to pootle...
