You know what they say: Once you go auto, you never go back.
There are many benefits to a automatic transmission:
-Easier to use: An automatic gearbox will take over the gear changes and respond to you, the driver, rather than having to be changed manually. This ensures an easy, smooth driving experience.
-Safety: Unlike cars with manual gearboxes, an automatic gearbox allows you to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times, reinforcing the driver's control over the car.
-Better for hilly areas: Automatic gearboxes take the pain away from hill starts - one of the most dreaded driving manoeuvres in existence. The auto is hear to help you: No stress, no fuss and an easier way to handle difficult starting terrain.
-Easier to use traffic:Live in a built up area where driving is a constant stop and start? Make your life easier with an automatic. Move through traffic just with the push of a pedal - no need to deal with those frustrating stalls when you have to pull away at the lights!
Different types of Automatic Transmissions
An automatic gearbox - also known as an auto - is a type of
vehicle transmission that can automatically change gear as the vehicle moves.
This means the driver does not have to shift gears manually while driving.
A semi-automatic transmission is a type of vehicle
transmission that combines a manual and automatic transmission. This allows the
driver to take control of gear selection, typically through paddles
on the steering wheel or alternatively on the gear stick.
