What automatic gearboxes do Hyundai use?
I am thinking of getting a Hyundai 1.6-litre petrol car with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. I assume that this will not be a torque convertor gearbox, but can you please tell me what type it is and how it performs? Do you recommend it? I cannot find a test of yours for this car.

The latest automatic transmission is dual clutch and it’s also fitted to the near identical but differently styled KIA cee’d and Hyundai Veloster. Some impressions of it here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/kia/kia-ceed-2012-.../
