The gear box could be disagreeable when changing down across the gate from third speed to second, and the car was only just large enough for four people, with only a small storage area for luggage, located in a hard to get at position behind the back seat and without any external access.
Transferring gears from third to second through a gate could be inconvenient. The car holds only four passengers and offers minimal luggage storage in an awkward location, inaccessible from outside.
