Automatic transmission (AT)
* Pros:
* Smooth gear shifting
* Convenient controls
* Low fuel consumption in urban environments
* Cons:
*Higher maintenance cost compared to a robot
* Slightly higher fuel consumption on the highway
* Less dynamic than a robot
Robotic gearbox (manual transmission)
* Pros:
* More dynamic than automatic transmission
* Lower maintenance cost
* Less fuel consumption on the highway
* Cons:
* Higher fuel consumption in urban environments
* Jerks when changing gears
* Not as convenient to operate as an automatic transmission
Recommendations:
*If you mostly drive in the city and value smooth shifting and driving comfort, choose an automatic transmission.
* If you often drive on the highway and value efficiency and dynamics, choose a manual transmission.
It is also worth considering that in recent years, robotic gearboxes have improved significantly and become more convenient to use. In particular, this applies to Toyota Yaris models with the latest version of the manual transmission, called Multidrive S.
