For last 3 and half years, I had been using i10 auto asta. It was very easy(read relaxed too) to drive for me as well as for my dad. However the flip side is that it gave poor mileage @12kms/lt. When my dad gave up driving, I sold it off and brought Liva diesel.
With auto i10 I used to visit petrol pump thrice a month. With Liva, its only after 26 days to be precise. i10 used to cost me @9000 INR per month vs Liva which is costing me @3000 INR a month.

Hi Neil Bujbal & 350Z,
Out of the 5 different autotransmissions mentioned above where does an Astar & Ritz Automatics fall. Is there a way (by piggyback ECU or so) to increase the mileage of Astar/Rtiz Automatics mileage.

A very informative and valid thread Vibhor![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
. Loved reading the comments as well. Excellent discussion I must say. So I have had my share of driving AT and MT and among them I feel a 5 or 6 speed AT is suffice to tackle the stressful daily traffic in Delhi-NCR. Manuals are certainly relating to reflexes of driver because we learn to drive on manual transmission cars but for sheer ease of drive AT I found to be best. AT cars now are not as pricey as they use to be 5-7 years ago, so I feel, AT or AMT is much better than the conventional manual transmission for me if I own a sedan/hatchback/mpv. I would prefer a Manual if I drive a Indian SUV like Safari, Scorpio or XUV for the pleasure of doing gear shifts myself.

I always loved manual box than automatic, well almost all auto enthusiast love to drive a car with manual box. But now a days i am thinking about buying a car with auto box so that everyone in the family can drive. Elder people and ladies always prefer auto boxes over manual.
But i will miss the 'Dominic Toretto' style shifting all the time![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")

There are lots of automatics in this price range. Ecosport at has 6 airbags and esp.
Avoid AMT gearbox. DSG is good for driving, but reliability-- is better than before but cant say its perfect. Cvt reliable but not fun to drive.
