Director of the mechanical repair department at Avilon Kia, Vadim Strelbitsky, told Gazeta.Ru that of all existing types of automatic transmission, the hydraulic automatic transmission is the most reliable. It has fewer moving elements, due to which it has increased wear resistance and is less likely to break.
Vadim Strelbitsky said that the hydro-automatic transmission provides more comfortable driving due to smoother gear changes. In addition, the expert added, the design of such a box is simpler than that of other types of machines, so they are less susceptible to breakdowns.

At the same time, other types of automatic transmissions, according to the expert, also have their advantages. For example, “robots” and CVTs are more compact in size. In addition, they provide improved fuel economy compared to hydromechanical options.
Previously, the expert named five used cars that can be bought for less than half a million rubles and that are distinguished by a high level of reliability. The list of indestructible models is topped by the Ford Focus.
