I hate it when brainless sales reps talk utter BS like this, just to either a) get you off the phone, b) relentlessly promote their product (even if it's for having/doing something that it actually doesn't) or c) grasp at any small thing to make it SEEM like they know what they're talking about when, in actuality, they haven't a clue.
I haven't got my 370 yet, but I really don't see why it should be a problem. I've skipped gears in all my cars so far, for similar reasons as mentioned above, and never had a problem.
On the other hand, I've had problems with a few of my cars with second gear just refusing to engage on a downshift. Even on relaxed downshifts - very slow speed, too fast for first but too slow for third (such as on approach to a traffic light that just changed from red to green), i try to shift down and it just won't go in. I have to lift and re-engage the clutch. Has anyone else ever had this? What's that about?
