Thanks

shalom mariann,i'm from israel too,but i'll write in english so everyone will understand the infromation.you can "change" the robotic transmission to semi-automatic by moving the gear stick to the left from "Es" to "m".

the +- shifts to gears up or down respectively.please remember to remove your hand from the gas pedal in order for the clutch to engage.after you shift up or down put you leg again on the gas.
i know it's a little tricky..i you got used to driving only automatic transmission the shift to robotic transmission can become difficult sometimes.

I was assuming Robotic shifter was just another term for Automatic transmission,further reading seems to make me think its something else that we dont get over here in N.America,does it have something to do with the flappy paddle shifters around the steering wheel?

matanfr , i live in jerusalem .. I am thinking of buying a corolla with robotic transmission , i know it's yaris world :P but i guess you are the only one to help on the internet ..
does this robotic transmission have many problems as they say or it just takes time to get used to it ?
Will it need to be repaired a lot or it is just like any other transmission ?

So you guys use hand to depress gas pedal? Left or right hand ? What do you do wiith your right leg? Hop through radio stations ? This robotic stuff is really puzzling.
