I have just driven the Evora Auto and for me it is no good too slow and jerky, the other thing you cannot do in the evora and i am told it s the same in the Emira is that when you use the paddles it goes into manual mode but after about 30 seconds it goes back into Auto, i am therefore going to go for the manual, it is not a daily for me and as such easier to live with the manual. This is just my view but my other cars have DCT gearbox which is instant change up or down and i feel this will be annoying to live with for me.![]()
V6 auto gear box
Can any one tell me what is good and what is bad about this gear box . I don’t want to wait so long for the i4 so I’m opting in for the v6 auto … Does it blip on the down shift ? How responsive is it ? Any feed back is appreciatedwww.emiraforum.com
not sure the model, it is not for sale i was told they are using this as a demo for anyone thinking of Auto until they get an Emira Demo, its green and tan, i think it was 3-4 years old not sure, it just did not do it for me in Auto@Andy was that a series 1 Evora, or 400+ onwards ? Can’t see the car on B&C site . If it’s the former then yes the S1 auto was much slower and not something I could live with.
Re reverting from manual mode to “drive”, like many autos it will do this if in “drive” mode. If in “sports” mode it will stay in manual from memory. Let’s put it this way I drove 9k miles in manual mode only so never had this problem.
Had my run in this lovely 2019 Evora and have to say the IPS box is very smooth, responsive and couldn’t tell the difference between my Audi RS5 DSG. Thanks to Bell and Colville for letting me take it out for a spin. For those who are concerned about the IPS I’d say having driven Mercedes and VAG DSG boxes the difference is negligible.I have just driven the Evora Auto and for me it is no good too slow and jerky, the other thing you cannot do in the evora and i am told it s the same in the Emira is that when you use the paddles it goes into manual mode but after about 30 seconds it goes back into Auto, i am therefore going to go for the manual, it is not a daily for me and as such easier to live with the manual.

Bell and Covill have an Evora in Auto which is the one i test drove.
I dont doubt your review, but is it really as good as a double clutch?Had my run in this lovely 2019 Evora and have to say the IPS box is very smooth, responsive and couldn’t tell the difference between my Audi RS5 DSG.

I had a big smile on my face and genuinely couldn’t tell the difference.I dont doubt your review, but is it really as good as a double clutch?
Sweet!I had a big smile on my face and genuinely couldn’t tell the difference.
If there is some lag its milliseconds so unless you’re time trialling at goodwood I personally don’t think you’d notice the difference. I drove my Rs5 DSG v8 home and if I’m honest felt underwhelmed after my Evora IPS experience
IndeedSweet!
Did it drop multiple cogs OK on the paddle?
Yes, that merc 9g tronic is ultra smooth, unobtrusive and, for me, always in the right ratio.The family currently has a CLA 250, which comes with a 7G-DCT transmission. The shifts are crisp but slowing down to a stoplight is messy, and sometimes jerky when the traffic moves again before coming to a full stop. My previous Mercedes had a 9G-Tronic (slushbox) transmission. Honestly, it shifted pretty quickly as well and was perfectly smooth at low speeds.
I drove 2020 Evora GT Auto + Exige 420 Final edition manual + owned many DCT cars and ZF cars...
Based on my experience in Evora GT I can say I was impressed how good the upshifts are, it's pretty fast (not DCT level) but very close to sports ZF fast I will say, in normal speeds kinda feels old school to me and a bit slow, downshifts are not fast but have very good blip to the throttle making it sound so good I don't think you can match downshift sound in Manual (unless you do it perfectly), the paddles felt good no complains there, however as an Auto preference guy I picked Manual and for one reason:
