[QUOTE="Redd, post: 92434, member: 200"] placement of pedals is always a problem with italian cars. the italians are a bit like monkeys u see - long arms, short legs, and small feet. hence, all their cars are ergonomically designed to fit primates. the selespeed shd not suffer any heel-toe issue, however, cos: a) u dont got no clutch pedal B) the selespeed system does the rev-matching for you (try it, it's a hoot!) steering feel is never an issue with the alfas. take the car to the edge of tire grip and see how communicative the steering can be. jpb, id like to say that ur experience with sime is rather the exception than the norm, but it isnt. its well-known that the biggest issue with alfa sales is the dealer network. kalbfell himself was ignored at various UK dealers when the made surprise visits there earlier this year. we were hoping that sime - being a new setup - would start from a clean slate and avoid these mistakes. but how can u not make these mistakes when u have the same ppl from the old dealership working there? short of brainwashing the old guard, i regret that we're going to have to put up with the same s**t, but different store. :( redd [/QUOTE]
