After more than 6 months of use I see no reason to dislike the Ect transmission in 1.6 Altis. The shifts are as smooth as butter, mileage is excellent.
Its returning 12.5-13.5kmpl in city.
16kmpl on highway at 80-100kmph.
Only because its old doesnt mean its crap. Its a sturdy transmission, ready for abuse as well.
