I've trawled through this forum and searched it as well, but I've found very little about the ownership experience of a Dualogic 500L.
I currently run a 500L MPW PopStar 1.3 MultiJet 5-speed (actually the wife's car, leased from Motability.)
Now, we like our 500L, it gives us 55mpg overall (over 15,000miles!), and apart from feeling it's a wee bit underpowered, we're very happy, so much so that when replacement time comes, we want another. Here's where it gets complicated- my arthritic knees are deteriorating to the point where the next car HAS to be automatic, so we need to know about the Dualogic 500L. When we first got ours, we considered a Dualogic, but I was deterred by scare stories of poor economy and rough, jerky gearshifts. So, is a Dualogic a worthwhile choice (tell us about yours!) or should we abandon Fiat next time around to get a better auto transmission?
