I have the 120 auto version. Such a smooth autobox. Smoothest I have ever driven. Works just like my Espace triptronic-style box. That is it has a clutchless manual setting. The box itself has six gears configured in two separate mechanisms. One, operting the even gears and the other opersting the odd number gears. It has two clutches and swaps between them, seamlessly.
The twin, dry clutch system makes it very efficient, no losses as it does not have a torque converter or oil pump, unlike BMW or Audi. So operates at a level of effeciency equivalent to a manual box. The clutch does mean that the autobox "creep" is a little more assertive than other autoboxes, but is easily controlled by the footbrake.
The triptronic-like gear lever can help with tricky situations that autoboxes can find difficult, ie going down long hills when engine braking is required. But slip into manual and drop a gear and you have all the engine braking you need.
If you like autoboxes, you'll love the edc.Edited by: crossbow
