The advantages of both versions.
There are those who say that an automatic car does not have the same power as a mechanical one. There are those who say that with the first one cannot make the gear changes when they are needed. And there are also those who add that the latter are the most suitable for countries, which by their topography require greater joint power between the box, the engine and the transmission so that they respond in unison to the demands of the terrain. However, what everyone agrees on is that the two already have so much after-sales support in the country that buying one or the other is simply a matter of taste.
A scenario that is a topic of conversation when you take into account that the bulk of the brands that exist in the country already offer in their portfolio one or two references of vehicles with automatic box, a trend that a little more than five years ago had no strength because, according to Volvo, “people did not buy them because there were no places to repair the boxes, so they were not sold. Today, after extensive brand support, we, on average, of 10 cars we sell, 8 are automatic. ”
The question then is: automatic or mechanical, what is the best option? According to business experts, some have as many advantages as others, but if it is comfort when driving, the car is the front, and if the goal is to have a car that can control the driver in matter of march and advanced in the highway, the most indicated is the mechanic.
Camilo Ruiz, Chevrolet brand manager, explains that the automatic cars have become tranquil when driving. That women are the ones that prefer these vehicles in high ranges and also comments that this is a matter of perception: “In the United States the trend is higher, and they work better because they are not mountainous terrain.
Here you have seen that they are preferred by traffic, because you do not have to be making changes manually and driving becomes something more enjoyable. However, you have to keep in mind that it’s not just putting Drive and now. ”
In addition, it puts on the table an important economic variable: “automatic cars obey more the requirement of a certain population segment that demands high-end vehicles and that among its equipment have dual systems, which give a better relationship and offer optimal performance “.
What everyone agrees on is that whoever arrives at a dealership by a mechanical vehicle, buys this style because of their habit of handling the gearbox, while the one that comes by an automatic is part of a group of people who have already known the advantages of these cars and have usually driven them before and in other countries.
But always, as the choice ultimately depends on the benefits that the car can offer, that the next imported brand that they bring will have in 2011 available automatic sequential box and engines for flex fuel. All a combo that in addition to functional and novel, will be optimal for the environment.
A niche of the business that is increasing more in Colombia and thinking of more demanding consumers, has allowed more brands to bring cars with automatic box, the same that will be a good option if in short what you are looking for is rest when driving.
