Default Re: first experience of an FG.

"I put nearly 3000km on a rented Kluger back in 2008, I can't remember how many gears that had either"

Thats easy, I drove a Kluger back in 2008 for two weeks and it had a 5 speed auto, drove like a boat too

That's a very good point, clapped out hire cars are not a good way to assess a car. Although by his own admission he buys his cars used so perhaps he's never experienced an unmolested example before.

Driving a car without knowing how many gears it has, I'd expect that from my missus
