  • Smart Forfour - Automatic gearbox problems 25 Jul 2015 (Forum)
    I have a 10 year old Smart Forfour that has done 63000 miles. When in automatic mode, in 6th gear, travelling at around 60mph, it regularly tries to change down to 5th, hesitates, but then continues in 6th.  This is particularly bad in wet weather, when travelling at a similar speed, the automatic and unexpected changing down at speed is quite fierce.
  • Small, automatic's. 17 Aug 2012 (Forum)
    My partner currently drives a 56 plate Toyota Aygo that we have had for some time now. She has recently decided that she wants an automatic as she finds driving manuals quite stressful, and has decided automatic is the best way to go. I looked at trading her Aygo in for a MMT version of the same car or Yaris, however I have since read of the horror stories surrounding the MMT box.
