Even though most of the cars I drove, and the ones I drive more regularly, are manuals, if I were going to blow money on a car right now I'd also rather get an automatic. I have already test-driven a Fiat Argo with the GSR automated-manual transmission, but it's not just a little rougher than a conventional automatic, it also has the disadvantage that a clutch is more likely to require replacement than a hydraulic torque converter would require some servicing.

My corolla robotic transmission ( manual but clutch is pressed by a motor and the gears are changed by a motor) was fairly efficient and ok. Not a problem in 160k km.

Toyota is known for its reliability. But anyway, that robotic transmission was never available in my country. |

The interviews went ok, not really hopeful tho. Not starving to death at least
also, i got the car fixed so everything went okey.
Drove 1400km the week i was at tampere and the consumption was about 8.2L/100km/28MPG highway and 22MPG/10.3L/100Km in the city, according to the car's consumption meter.
I wouldnt say its far from the truth, i stared intensely at the fuel gauge :P

i wonder what kind of drivig suits an automatic best? Also, gotta fix a vac leak that keps the cruise control from workin. Oor its the lesft stalk, the blinker doesnt return automatically either so something else might be broke too.
