I have seen it in some Fiat and Volkswagen compact cars, including the U.S.-spec Fox which retained the same 4-speed gearbox of the earlier versions of the Volkswagen Voyage on which it was based, also retained by the cargo versions of the Gol due to reliability until they were phased out in '96. During the 80s the fuel-saver transmission for the local Volkswagens back here was the 4-speed, in spite of a 5-speed being available at least since '85 for the front-engined ones.
