Its basically Getrags equivalent of the Borg Warner DSG (The DSG is not actually a VAG gearbox).

Ford are dumping the powershit and going back to torque convertor based systems....as its cost them dearly!

The Easytronic was a single clutch system using a standard manual box with naff software (tolerable with the software upgrades).

GM never finished their dual clutch box as it got binned about 10 years ago, instead they got on board big autos with lockup in all gears.

Eldest daughter is on her 2nd Aygo[petrol]and loves them,but in fairness it does suit her short town hop driving.Son-in-law[her husband]is on his 2nd Auris hybrid and loves those :o Other son-in-law had an Ultima[?]diesel-import version of Previa anyway-that thing was a total pile of cack!I once had a late '70's[I think]2L Cressida saloon,I think that was built of rust and body filler ;D it was pretty comfy,had a reasonable turn of speed for what it was and mechanically it just wouldn't die,but it was so,so boring to drive it had no "soul" :-[
I've driven a couple of Aygos and quite liked them as a thrash-about-town car.  One of those was a hire car, thus was the worlds fastest vehicle ;D.  Obviously not a car for longer journeys, or motorway runs.

But I know a guy who has a right Friday afternoon one.


FIL has a d4d engine corolla verso, and its a proper wallet emptier.  Its a dog of an engine once it has miles on it.  On the upside, he has full access to an abandoned Battlebus (if he can find it) when his is broken again ;D.
