Hi do anybody here have experience with the M-MT gearbox on the Toyota Corolla its apparently a clutchless system, reason for asking mite buy car with one just wanted to know if it good or problematic?

Never heard of the M-MT system. Would that be the same as a CVT?

Man, I would LOVE a CVT where you could set your petrol consumption, torque or rev limits.
Constant accelleration, WOOT!!!!

M-MT its basicaly a car that has no cluth you can set it to automatic or turn of and use gears as per normal, just no clutch pedal

you don't "use the gears as per normal", it's more like the semi-manual feature in most automatic cars, where you tap the gear lever down to change up a gear and tap it up to change down.

Toyota had huge issues with their first iteration in the Verso a couple of years ago. People were burning out clutches left, right and centre because they assumed you could simply drive it like an auto. Well, you could... but what gave rise to the problem was that people assumed you could also stop it like an auto - stop at a traffic light & just keep your foot on the brake whilst waiting for green. Turns out that left the clutch semi-engaged...

Whether it's been improved I don't know, but if you want to go the automated manual route I wouldn't look at anything apart from a BMW or something from the VW group. The others haven't quite figured it out yet.

Have had the car for 6 months now and no probs, goes like a, dream once you get used to the feel of the accelerator.

What do you do?
Hand brake?

You had to shift to neutral each time you came to a standstill.

When you stop simply keep your foot on the brake, clutch auto disengages. When you pull away release brakes and accelerate.
