Hi, apologies for all my questions whilst I search for my perfect C5!
When test driving an Automatic C5 recently, I noticed that when I gave it some throttle (from approx 50mph) so as to engage kickdown, the downshift felt quite hard compared to other high performance cars I have driven - actually the rear end of the car gave a bit of a "wiggle" as the gear engaged prior to the car rocketing away! (But then the roads were damp and it was cold).
I was just wondering if it was normal for a C5 to have a fairly hard shift when kickdown engages? For info non-kickdown auto shifts were lovely and completely smooth.
Many thanks!
