don't think it is all rosy on the other side of the fence mate...
Our MK manual (not sure if it is the same spec but it was the one they beefed up after a number of failures) is now 10 years old and has had bad rollover from day one and never got worse, multiple mechanics have advised it is not an issue. So no concerns in that department.
regarding changing gears it is terribly clunky between the lower gears, particularly going down when cold. The gearbox was removed and second gear synchros were replaced under warranty at the end of the 5 year extended warranty. it was better for a few months but went back to normal. As with you guys it is far worse when cold and it shits me to drive it (it is my wifes car) but it is significantly better when warmed up.
so no new news to you guys except that it has not got any worse over the last 5 years once it 'settled back' to normal.
it was one of the reasons i went with auto this time, but we have our own problems.
