I just bought a Merk Lynx with a 4-speed.  The easiest thing to read on
the dashboard is the SHIFT light!*  I think it is telling me to shift too
soon -- the car rumbles if I 'obey' it.  Maybe I just need to let the engine
get worked in?

I am interested to know what other people think of the car telling you when
to shift.  Sounds like a poor man's automatic to me.
