Due to ongoing problems with my Smart Roadster which I've concluded was built on a Friday afternoon by careless, left handed monkeys who were drunk I've been issued with an A Class 'courtesy' car.
This 1000 mile, 07 reg A150 Elegance is automatic, and if I put my foot hard down the revs jump to around 5000 rpm and stay there without moving, whilst the speed increases. At first I thought the ratios were unusually tall, but I went from about 20 to 75 without the sound of a gearchange or the rev counter moving. Weird.
Does anyone know anything about these transmissions? Its definitely an automatic, but not as we know it, Captain.
