i believe the previous gearbox had problems ( ESG6, i could be wrong ) but the newer ETG6 was fine, mine anyway ! If you're concerned test drive one to satisfy yourself. in traffic i found it very relaxing, effortless, even therapeutic & the 6th gear made it extremely economical on motorway runs, regularly recording 60 mpg at 65-70mph on cruise control. i had two manuals 5 speed before the auto and prefer it. i wouldn't have another manual. i'd recommend one, but it's up to you.
Hello, I know maybe a bit bizarre to resurrect a 7 year-old thread but we are on the verge of buying used pretty much the exact same XTR Auto Multispace as you bought all those year ago (though 2015 model). We are having a bit of last minute freakout about the semi-auto gearbox (EGT6) as have heard some bad reviews in terms of it being more prone to breaking and costly repair. So I'm really curious, how has your experience with it been? Still up and running? Any advice to impart?
Would love to hear your experiences with it to assuage the fears (ideally!), or likewise, maybe persuade us to go manual (which is an option, though auto is preferred).
Thanks so much!
