Automatic transmissions are the smaller luxuries of life when they added up to the cars and make your life even easier
When it comes to the driving pleasure, there always are two opinions, one is in favor of the manual transmissions and the other is for the automatic transmissions. A decade ago, manual lovers were more than those who actually love to have automatic transmissions but now the table has turned. The automatic transmission has become a necessity while a decade ago it was a luxury. With the passage of time, the driving habits have emerged and people have started preferring the automated things rather than selecting the manual processes.
Almost every aspect of life has been shifted over automated technologies, from wheel chairs to the buses and from home garages to the car, everything is automatic. And why they shouldn’t be? They actually sooth away the stress and make the life easier. Automatic cars, on the other hand, simplify the tasks of the life in the heavy traffic when it is hard for a driver to select a correct gear. This is where an automatic transmission comes in and improve the performance and fuel economy at the same time.
There is not a single type of automatic transmissions, there is a lot, where a dual clutch transmission, automated manual transmission, and continuously variable transmission, are very common. All of them called DCT, AMT, and CVT respectively.
It is really common for luxury cars these days that they come with automatic transmissions as standard and these transmissions remain the only option. On the smaller models, these transmissions become the optional feature. All it depends on the trim level and vehicle type. Its again quiet differ in the overall costs, most of the times automatic transmissions remain more fuel economical than the manuals now.
Here is the list of the best automatic cars offered in the market

The smart for Two Twinamic in its second generation comes as something awesome and it is a really fun to drive and a real surprise to discover.
