Got My Brand New Auris Today :)

[simon_d]

Hi,

I finally picked up my new Auris today! Been eagerly waiting since the start of january.

Ive got a lovely black T3 1.6 multimode, and Im really happy with it.

Was a bit concerned about all the bad things that had been said about the mmt gearbox, but so far its been great... I felt comfortable with it straight away, even tho every other car Ive driven has been a manual. Maybe thats the reason I like it? Because I have no 'auto yard stick' to measure it against?

Ive only driven 100 miles in it, but so far there are no rattles or creaks, the brakes dont squeak and the gearbox is great. I think the screen wash jets are aimed a bit low tho, so will get some new ones fitted when I get chance.

Overall, Im well chuffed :)

Wellcome the the MMT owners club.

Don't worry - the mmt gear box IS UNIQUE and i enjoy it .(except it going down to 1th below 18KM)

I used it 95% of my driving in manuel-mode = including the padels shifts on the wheel

I have my auris 1.6 mmt from may 2007 and over 10000 KM - but noting "but so far there are no rattles or creaks, the brakes dont squeak -(was a little but stops)".

I did post - in 2007's posts - some good tips for the mmt- i hope its will help you anjoing this gear better.

One tip = u can start in 2th gear and than u can up to 3th ,BUT if u keep it below 40KM, the gear will no going dowm to the 1th and will stay at 2th even if u stop completly.then u can start again in 2th - until u reach the open roads.

I called it "SNOW MODE"

I hope its help u and all the other mmt-owners here in this forum

Im getting my MMT Auris soon. I've purchased the MMT because of my wife. I have read alot about it but Im quite open-minded because every person has their own opinion about the MMT.

Im switching from a fully-automated Mercedes E280 1998-mod to the Auris..

Hey - lets start our own "Auris MMT Owners"-thread like the popular Auris Sr180 Owners

Hello

Today I placed an order for a Auris 1.6 petrol MMT didnt test drive it (yes i know big mistake), kinda ordered it in a rush decision.

After reading the forum the MMT is really worrying me ( thinking should have got a manual), however the threads seems to posted a while back, so is any recent owners having problems with MMT?
