A friend of mine is just taking her test (automatic only) and is looking for a small car to buy, currently looking at a Mazda 2 or Toyota Yaris, probably around 3-5 yrs old.
So I have a basic understanding of the types of gearbox there are from reading around and it seems to go from worst to best
MMT
Torque Converter (Hydraulic) or CVT
DSG
Now is there much difference between the Torque Converter and CVT for this type of small car?
The 2011 Mazda 2 she was looking at is a TC with a 4 speed box, which doesn't sound great to me, whereas the Yaris is a CVT I believe.
