    Considering that this is Hyundai's first go at an AMT, we wonder how it will perform, however, it's already generating a lot of buzz because the company said that 32 per cent of the bookings received for the Santro were for the AMT and this shows us the growing need for automatics in the country. The AMT unit is developed by Hyundai in-house and uses an electric actuator instead of a hydraulic, which is controlled by a separate electric unit.
