I to have the swift 590, I use to have the vr6 sharon and I went through two auto boxes before I decided I needed to give her away and opt for something better, I got myself the 3.2 lwb I was not to keen on getting a auto box again but the mitsi guys told me it was the dog's bollocks and as I had another mitsi car which had never caused me any trouble I took there advice. And so far she has not let me down, we do alot of caravaning in europe including taking it to the alps so we can go sking, I must say though there is no need to tow in 4wd as this just brings your mpg down.
