While normally a stick driver, I just bought a car with EGS automatic transmission (it was a special offer).
EGS is a conventional manual gearbox with a sort of robot device that operates it. So, you drive it like an automatic.
Advantage: No energy loss; in fact it has better fuel economy than a manual because it uses the gears more optimally.
Drawback: Somewhat more bumpy action than an old-fashioned automatic.
Has anybody experiences with this?
Efficiency? Reliability? Maintenance costs?
The car in question is a Peugeot 2008 with a 1200cc 3 cylinder engine.
