Are you happy with your dualogic transmission?
I am not at all happy with Fiat Dualogic transmission. My Fiat 500C is in the garage having a new clutch and flywheel fitted with only 2700 miles on the clock. My faith in the car has been destroyed and I am returning it to motability despite only owning it since March!!! I ordered a Peugeot 308 auto to replace it which should be here around the middle of August.AVOID AT ALL COSTS
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Good luck, the Pug probably has the same gearbox, I know one or two of their models do.
Not sure why you're giving up so soon though, any new car can have issues, and this is what a warranty is for tbh. Good luck with the new car though

Hello guys I'm following this forum for a long time it's been very helpful, i have punto mk2b 1.3mjet with dualogic gearbox, what is the best way to start engine, with changing to N and start or to start when is at first gear? And one more thing in cold days I'm starting buy waiting to valve finishes thay job than switch to N and start but i notice that the engine struggling to start it need 7-8 sec, is it problem maybe in battery, don't have power for start? Thanks!
And - to add a further note...
Our Panda was ten years old with just 3800 miles on it when we bought it back in January. Since then the mileage has gone up to just short of 7000 miles and the duologic box has got smoother over that time. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with it.
When you switch off do this in gear, and as soon as its switched off moving the level into N so its in the correct position ready for when you restart

i came into ownership of a 2011 Doblo combi last year a quick test drive seemed ok , once getting it back home and starting driving it i have hated it ever since.
Due to an accident i have just been delivered a 2015 updated model i cant believe this is the same gearbox? the difference is very noticable also the general performance is enhanced maybe power has been boosted?
Unfortunately this original Doblo was purchased as an automatic, i have driven auto's since 1975 , and obviously it certainly is not ,it an abomination that leaves me feeling uncomfortable and frustrated each time i use it but as its a w.a.v that i have to pay for myself i ca not afford to replace it!

I just bout Fiat 500. For me, the dualogic transmission is the best part of the car. Well it depends if one wants only to go forward and reverse, then this transmission would not be ideal. This transmission is particularly good for drivers who like to be involved with driving, I should say exiting drive. You could even have combination of both Automatic and manual by changing gears while in automode, by using either the gear lever or the steering paddle shifts ! This is something I thought would be exclusive to racing cars only, I was pleasantly surprised to see it on 500L. In short if you enjoy driving then Dualogic is +++

My mother had one of the first DuoLogic Pandas. The first shift from neutral was slow. I'm told that should have been corrected by the dealer but we never knew any different. Other than that, I liked it and considered taking the car when she stopped driving due to age related issues.
Rapid clutch wear can be an issue, caused by people driving them like a slush box auto. The DuoLogic mimics that very well - at the expense of the clutch.
