You cant just ram it though the gears you have to lift and power to get a smooth change when in manual or auto mode.
Good fun I like!

My mum has got one on her car, it's only a 1.0 12v effort though, when in 'auto mode' it tends to jump quite a bit when changing gear, and when you put it into manual selection its crap, iirc my aunties 1.2 is the same amount of dodgyness. If I were you I wouldn't bother.

best thing to do then is for me to go and try one. ive seen a 1.4sri with easytronic £500 less than a manual version. when it was a £330 option! doesnt bode well does it:lol:

true, there is a fully automatic function, and the manual + and - gear changes.

there seem to be alot of corsa c's about with this gearbox, and didnt want to just dissmiss the option when looking to purchase

The best way to describe them is an automatic gearbox with manual gear selection. I can understand the concept - manual gear selection, but clutchless operation. However they are a bit hesitent in most cases and you begin to think why you have paid for an automatic gearbox that you still have to change gears on manually...
