| It slides smoothly and effortlessly into lower gears but fifth gear is a bit notchy and I have a bit of a tussle to engage it. |
| However, the pedals are still offset to the left and the fascia-mounted gear change is as notchy as it ever was. |
| The six-speed is a big improvement over the notchy five-speed manual that was added to the 230 Kompressor last year, but its shift action is more mushy than crisp, and it sometimes balked at sliding smoothly into gear. |
| The heavy clutch and somewhat notchy shifter were a little demanding though enjoyable to use nonetheless. |
| The roomy cabin and built-tolast finish are great but the notchy six speed gearbox is a nuisance. |
| The manual box swaps gears with a reasonably clean and precise action, though the shifter exhibits a slightly notchy feel in some situations and doesn't like to be rushed. |
