I am! What to buy with MKP?

I am What to buy with MKPFull sizePorsche 911: seven manual steps. But not us.

Just let's not holivara "automatic vs manual"! The reality is: there are buyers who are not ready to change gears on their own, and those who are ready. It is foolish to deny that there is a global trend to increase the share of the two pedal drive versions. As usual, we have in Russia the trend has taken a distorted and exaggerated view. The reason for that low quality of drivers ' training, the mentality, the lack of road and economic cultures, tube... Plus crisis ERA-GLONASS, excessive certification requirements. As a result, the cars m / t (manual transmission) has become almost a deficit.

We increasingly remind America. And I want to remind Europe and can count money and driving pleasure to love. Look at the two most important novelties of the European market: Renault Clio and Peugeot 208. It is an absolute future sales leaders. At Clio ― a choice of six engines, of which only one with "two pedal drive" box and another will get it later. At 208 (if not to touch electric version) ― four engines, of which one with automatic and one automatic offered as an option. All. And because we live as men!

I am What to buy with MKPModern salon latest Clio: tablet, displays, ''mechanics''.

But enough of the lyrics. List the advantages and disadvantages of MKP will not. Better see what else you can buy "on the handle" in Russia. The existence of such machines in the price lists does not mean anything: sometimes they are kept there only formally, to be able to claim a tasty starting price. Example ― the Toyota C-HR. Type "from 1.36 million rubles." Only this poor fixed equipment, and only with the manual transmission. It even has heated seats! no! Of course, its sales tend to zero. And take on a rich C-HR ― from 1.75 million, and people can understand. Manufacturers with a marketing policy, let's call "Rogues".

Another group ― "the Economy". The choice of versions with a manual gearbox, they have a wider, but still this initial configuration, often with weak motors and with a limited list of options. These firms believe that the consumer chooses "mechanics" only for economic reasons.

Finally, there are "Adequate". Such companies select the type of gear box is completely entrusted to the client. Those who prefer the "pen", not end up in a marketing vise.

I am What to buy with MKP

In the passenger segment And, in theory, the share of "mechanics" should be the greatest, because the price of the ACP in relation to the price of a car killer. Yes, and drive a small car with a manual gearbox quite simply – a light clutch, easy gear change... But no. We all topsy-turvy. Segment And, in fact, shrunk to one car – Kia Picanto. MKP he kind of is, but only in a pair of three-cylinder "rickets" power of 67 HP If you want the car somehow moved, there is no choice: "automatic", because it is a 84-horsepower four. And equipment is richer. Of course, nine out of ten buyers overpay for automatic gearbox ― although, mindful of the sales statistics of the untimely departed Matiz and Spark, it's unlikely they need. Theoretically, there is still a Fiat 500, but there is the other extreme: only available manual transmission. As a result, for 2018 only sold a couple dozen cars.

I am What to buy with MKPThe share of cars with automatic transmission in the European market segment. Average — less than thirty percent. In Russia, in 2016 the share ''machines'' exceeded 50%.

Passenger segments and, in General, for fans of the "mechanics" favorable.
First, there is a huge competition, including price. Second, the price of AKP still bite, so modern "automatic" a little. Thirdly is the case of the Lada ― normal "two pedal drive" boxes from some manufacturers does not have, is not considered as such, the robot AMT. Therefore, AVTOVAZ has all the top equipment and "powerful" (quotes mine) the motors are available with the "mechanics" Lada ― "Adequate"! As Renault for similar reasons. Volkswagen Polo c sedan ― also "Adequate", because the 1.4 TSI motor, he can buy and with the ITUC, and in the top. But Skoda, alas, the "Economy". A similar version of the Rapid for the Russian market does not exist, and the most powerful Octavia 1.8 TSI motor comes with only two pedals. The Koreans, the French, the Japanese, the outgoing Ford ― how high the "Economy"...

Although the Citroen and Peugeot fat plus keeping up diesel version of the sedan S4 and 408 with the "mechanics" ― they do not have competitors at all. Another unique charged Lada Vesta Sport and Hyundai i30N with uncontested MKP. Of special note is the MINI ― for the vast majority of models "mechanics" comes as basic equipment, and automatic gearbox option.

I am What to buy with MKPA surprising number: i30N will bring to us only ''the stick''!

With large cars D, E and bigger ― all sad. Large German triple etched "mechanics" of all price lists. Even driversi Mondeo ends his days with only automatic transmission as the Mazda 6. The choice comes down to two dead 150-HP cars ― Kia Optima 2.0 and Skoda Superb 1.4 TSI. The second is certainly preferable, because the missing option, it is possible to get separately, and Kia with their fixed sets of "beggar" with no options. Kia – "Crooks", Skoda "Economy".

Turning to crossovers and SUVs find another infringement of rights: it is often combined with a manual gearbox, all-wheel drive. Type to savings was the most economical. The best-selling crossover, Hyundai Creta, with the "mechanics" is available moreover, that only with front-wheel drive, but only with motor 1.6. This approach is repeated almost all "Chinese", except a more adequate company Haval. Popular Bros Kia Sportage / Hyundai Tucson still combine gearbox, the base engine and poor equipment with all-wheel drive. In contrast with them "Adequate" can be called c Captura Renault and Duster (separate prize for the Duster with mechanics, diesel engine and all-wheel drive). Pleased with the presence of Nissan in the price lists, the X-Trail is also a diesel and 4WD, even in pretopology configuration. Was liter all-wheel-drive Ford EcoSport, but with the restyling was gone. Even small and mid-sized AWD crossovers can be found only on the VW Tiguan and Kodiaq ― both "Economy" with a 150-horsepower engine, but at least have the opportunity to play with the options. And you can choose any of the Fields...

I am What to buy with MKPFull size

Large crossovers are all just "mechanics" there is not one, even in the Santa Fe and Sorento Prime.

A full-frame SUV, fortunately, not always deprived of the MCP. Who said "UAZ Patriot"? Opens the chart Foton Sauvana. But the major players ― Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, too. Prado with the "handle" you can even take in the base, but in the second set. But "Rogues" they do not want to call, because there is a real demand for such "naked" SUVs for the forwarding and similar purposes. Jeep Wrangler with the change of generations left a "mechanic" more popular markets than ours.

I am What to buy with MKPFull sizeAlmost all MINI's except diesel Contryman, by default, going with ''mechanics''. Even the Cooper S, as in the photo.

The pickups doing well on the market cars, except the Mercedes X-class, can be purchased with a manual gearbox, if not the top, in predtopovyh configurations. Of maximenu friendly to "stick" only with Multivan Volkswagen and Caravelle ― they also have powerful version. Hyundai H-1 and Citroen/Peugeot – typical "Crooks". The segment of the minivans are actually killed ― there were only Citroen C4 Picasso c uninteresting "shifty" version "diesel+mechanics". Well, the icing on the cake ― the almost complete absence of MKP on the coupe, sports cars and convertibles. Unless it's uncontested offer of manufacturer, as Porsche 911 GT3 Cup or the Subaru WRX / WRX STI (the first CVT has only just appeared).

In General, all is bad :) "Adequate" among the Russian brands ― units. It all depends on the segment, but to positively stand out MINI, VW and Skoda, sometimes French brand. In the most disadvantaged those fans of the "mechanics" that are richer.

It is enough to compare the same versions with manual gearbox and automatic transmission for fuel consumption. But it regards the "old" classic analog machines, where the torque Converter locked on 60-70km/h. the modern automatic transmission, it is blocked almost immediately and they efficiency as close to a manual transmission.

Here, for example is an excerpt from the manual on Kia soul. The tendon — not a cheap Dexron or ATP, which need 6-7 liters and replace Karlie 40тык. When it is not in any tendon of the automatic transmission can be changed independently.

Toyota Probox, 2003, the Aisin automatic transmission U340E, the slurry is poured now Fuchs Titan ATF 4400 — worth canister 4л. -1600 from the wholesaler. +filter Aiko — 700r. Changed every 30K.km. Carry loads up to 1 ton. Usually 500-800. For 8 years, and 127т.km. For automatic transmission only changed 1 sensor input shaft is refused after an accident.
The day before yesterday we stopped to take a swill in MT grants the cousin, and when I heard the price for 1 liter of slurry to the manual transmission, and polysynthetic was shocked, to put it mildly... 700r! And it wholesale. Sinetica 900. And the tug pulled him 140km, it was in January. Well, 7-10 on the street. Did 1 stop. Went 60+ and sometimes 90. After that 2-3 year ride. According to the Toyota manual change the coolant every 30 miles so no filter replacement and 30 times with replacement. Alternating. Filter original costs about 1500-2000, cork gasket original 400-500 rubles. And the filter Aiko — 700 with a cork gasket. Took over 1000 Asakashi — there is a rubber gasket that went in the trash. Left the old — we have to see how many passed. And the cost of replacement for, or 500-1000R. Even with the replacement filter 4L enough.
Surprisingly, the automatic transmission switches very gently, quietly. The contract is from 2500 to 16-20t.R. for bespoleznyj quite of the Russian Federation. What kind of manual transmission can be to go speech?!) there is only the clutch 3, the flywheel, the gears, input shaft, fork, etc. even on easy 09. Consumption Yes, I agree — the difference is 1-2 liters. But the manual gearbox I want to drive and drive. On the same grant the city 11-12 on my 12.5-13 with tubes.
Recently Peugeot Traveller took with 2l turbo diesel and Aisin automatic transmission — also a fairy tale. On the highway consumption is at least 7.6-8.5 high, and went and sometimes 150, the machine hangs 2250кг.

IMHO, Moscow, and enjoy the ride — things are not compatible. And other roads are not much better. In the current environment the only two areas where the use of MKP makes sense — sports cars for track days and full size SUVs of backwoods. On normal roads the ride is on the handle — it is not a pleasure, and masochism. By the way, the greatest contribution to fatigue with a manual box make efforts on administration and background download brain computing what the transfer enable.

With a gun, then he's not exhaled. Well, out of steam, but much slower. The truth is I have not had the opportunity to compare two identical cars with different boxes, and there may be other factors.

You're right. Other things being equal, manual transmission, additional computations of the brain (whatever is not large, we expect that they are), more work is arm and leg. Of course it requires resources of energy. It is a mathematical fact and to argue with stupid.

I have Ah-sin.ovsky (modal) automatic transmission from the ' 90s.
Works perfectly. You can manually shift gears (sometimes used), you can clearly choose the time shift game the gas pedal.
Narada just.

When podtixov generally think: how cool that the automatic transmission, in a time when making a maneuver at the intersection and in one hand a phone and the second hand are actively working the steering wheel. Phone use (appropriateness and legality) behind the wheel will not discuss, accept this fact as inevitable in the work of the taxi driver.

Well, even the customers are drunk and brain endure, and even the hand pull.

Therefore, the average "mechanic" drives better than the average "Rifleman". Usually automatic choose on the principle of "I simpler, two feet — two pedals, otherwise you'll get confused" and mechanics choose consciously, you have to have to drive a car a particular fondness.
