I picked up my new Panda Cross yesterday TA yesterday (via the Affinity Scheme) trading in my Cross diesel. I'm very happy with it in the 3 hours or so that I have driven it which is my first experience of the TA engine.
Is there a right and wrong way of driving the TA? I understand that the engine is different to a normal petrol engine and is quirky but if I follow the shift indicator it wants me to change into 5th at 30 mph and, to me coming from15 years of ownership of diesels, it sounds like it is labouring and I automatically change down! I know it will be a matter of adjusting to it but I was wondering how folks drive it! It is also very nippy
Also, is there a way of permanently disengaging the Eco button?
