so i guess this is a bad time to ask about driving a gallardo for a 50% daily driver. seems like you are all having similar problems and they all are problems that i could not aford to have in a car that i depended on for transportation. i am looking at a gallardo and the new mercedes with the v-12. seems like it is as fast as a murci but the price of the gallardo and might go up a hill. man i really love the look of the lambo what has the dealer suggested to do. are they tring to fix it?

Re: e-gear problem in 1st gear when the engine is cold

Buy the MB V12. I considered both but did not want any aggravation added to my life. The MB Sl600 is a fast, luxurious automobile without any aggravation. Less money also. Life is short. Buy the MB V12 Win WIn!

They can't fix it, at least with the current model. My attorney is in the process of finalizing a full refund from Lamborghini.

Doug, I am sorry what you went through.
I heard their software was slightly improved recently, but it seems it lost some agressiveness. Anyway, it is too late for ya.... Good luck with your case.

Re: e-gear problem in 1st gear when the engine is cold

I have been driving my Gallardos almost every day since Dec. 2003 for total of 6,000 miles. That means Gallardo is my 100% daily driver. I haven't experienced any major troubles and pretty comfortable as a daily driver!!!

Re: e-gear problem in 1st gear when the engine is cold

Hi Tako,

Do you find the seats uncomfortable?
The seats (or so it seems to me) have a very prominent 'bump' at the lower back area, and can get quite uncomfortable in longer drives?
Very different from a 360 seat?

Your thoughts?

Satisfactory ending

So to conclude this e-gear problem saga, my Attorney William McGee (who you should make a note of in case you need some help in the future 858-485-9332) got a 100% refund from Lamborghini. I highly recommend this Attorney who works on contingency and is a specialist lemon law Attorney in California.

One thing is for sure, I will "never" buy another car from Platinum Motors (Lamborghini Beverly Hills) who abandoned me when things went wrong.

Good luck with your Lambo guys!

- Doug
