Hello all I am in the market for a 2005 Kluger CVX and have found one that i really like. It's a 2005, silver with nudge bar and rear spoiler... tip top condition, with only 41,000kms on the clock. I test drove it the other day and found two things mainly: - very smooth to drive with plenty of power - high ride when you adjust the electric seat and raise it Both of the above are good things. However there was one real negative. When i was coming up a small hill and preparing to turn right, the car seemed to lose power and did not know which gear it was in. It was almost like i was pressing the accelerator pedal but it was only just barely moving. I have read a lot of user reviews about this issue and before i part with my hard earned cash i wanted to see if anyone on here can shed any more info on this "issue" which apparently is common with series 1 model klugers (not sure if it is present in the new model or not). The car is such a pleasure to drive and i think it looks great (especially with the nudge bar and spoiler) but the one thing which i know will really make me down is the gear box if it is crap - i used to have a mitsubishi magna with a horrible gear box and it caused lots and lots of stress. I currently own a nissan xtrail, which is beautiful to drive and run and has absolutely no issues at all and is very very quick for a 4 cyl SUV. But it is getting a bit old now and has 85,000kms on it so that is the main reason i am getting rid of it. By the way i have been looking for a silver Kluger CVX for some time and this is the first one i have found which i am very keen on. Advice/comments much appreciated. Regards Matt
