Transmission

automatic > manual

A stick shift with which the Renault Megane III Coupe is equipped is more simpler built and is cheaper in usage but it is less comfortable as the driver has to operate clutch to shift speeds very often, especialy in a bussy urban traffic where we have lots of stop and go conditions. An automatic transmission put in the Renault Captur TCe EDC 120HP automatic with gears in the amount of 6 – speeds transmission is in our opinion better to use.
