[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 420236, member: 15"] Unker Schwepps, I used to have similar beliefs with regards to the SMG tranny, even after a few short "test drives". However after owning one and using it as a daily driver for the past 8 months, all I can say the SMG is better than both the manual and auto tranny, taking into account of factors such as 1) usability (can change from manual to auto mode) 2) improved fuel consumption and enhanced driving pleasure 3) better response (try driving the same car with manual and auto tranny) In some of the new super sport cars, single clutch transmission similar to the BMW's SMG is still used due to the lighter weight compared to DCT such as the R8. However, it is inevitable given that the DCT is superior in every other aspect (minus the weight), auto slushbox and single clutch manual transmission will be obsolete in the future. Cheers [/QUOTE]
