Any front-wheel drive car will wheelspin more readily when the wheels are turned to one side (as they would be when negotiating a left turn). When the wheels lose traction, the car doesn't go anywhere hence the comment in the review. A bit of practice with the clutch will solve the problem, so I wouldn't worry about it. frzrdrnopsam00.com wrote: > We're about to buy/lease a '99 9-3 with a 5-speed manual > transmission. > > The car drove great on the test drive, except it was tricky > starting off in 1st gear compared to what i am used to.
