My company car ZX CVT just went back after having done nearly 12000 km. I must say I have been quite happy with it. driving has been so smooth and effortless in Delhi with an automatic.
Who says fuel economy is poor? Sure, if you have good roads, and aren't changing gears often, the manual will give better mileage. But in Delhi traffic, its best to let the computer do the thinking. As long as you are less than 2000 rpm, you will get between 13 and 14 kmpl. I was using Speed from Bharat Petroleum.
The only poor part is the comfort of people riding behind. during the last 2000 km, I would find people in the rear seat groaning from feedback given by the Delhi road potholes. No amount of slow driving would help.
In summary, if I had to get an automatic again, I would go for the ZX CVT once again, if my budget was tied to less than 10lacs.
