Maybe if the limp mode issue was the only issue this gearbox had I could maybe forgive it and put up with it given it doesn't happen a lot and can be reset on the fly if you are on the ball. (Ignoring the fact you can drive around it by driving manually) However the whole overall shift program of the box ruins the whole drive experience of what is otherwise a fairly good package. Add the fact that the engine had to be detuned to protect the box and it really makes the engine package a bit substandard too. Unfortunately these things are hard to really assess unless you can get in a serious test drive, like a whole day at least. Unfortunately this is not that easy. Ours test drove fine really and I'd say it was several months in before I really started seeing the issues with the programming. Maybe the adaptive learning has a bearing on this too.
Having driven some other more powerful auto 4WD's recently (plus the 2 I owned before the PB), it just reminds me how good a combo like this should be.
