Recently I test drove a front wheel drive car that seemed OK apart from the fact that when in 3rd gear, the gear stick moved back about an inch when I blipped the gas pedal. Did not seem to happen in other gears though. Another stranger thing was that there was some sideways rocking when blipping the gas whilst stationary in neutral. The car is Alfa 156 with 45000 miles on a
51 plate. Anyone without any preconceived veiws on Alfas think it's a lemon ? The money seemed right if this behaviour is not a problem. The Doc
